#2679 - Eschscholzia californica - California Poppy

AKA as Desert Poppy, California Sunlight, and Cup of Gold. Named by the German botanist Adelbert von Chamisso after the Baltic German botanist Johann Friedrich von Eschscholtz, his friend and colleague on Otto von Kotzebue's scientific expedition to California and the greater Pacific circa 1810 aboard the Russian ship Rurik.

A highly variable species with at least 90 synonyms, and the genus isn't much better. One revision in 1922 reduced the number of valid species from 120 to 12.

The flowers can also be red, orange, or pink. The seed capsule sometimes open explosively, to scatter the seeds. Leaves are used as a garnish or eaten as food, and the seeds as seasoning.

Widely naturaised in Australia, and introduced to New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, and South Africa.

The State Flower of California. The Tongva peoples of the San Gabriel Valley region recognized the California poppy by the term Mekachaa, and as a plant relative, and the final plant created by the Tongva's god of creation, Wiyot, describing it as "golden as the sun, bringing beauty to the world."

[ID copied from alt text: A digital bust drawing of a NPC from my D&D campaign Eschscholzia (they/them), set against a gradient purple-green background with neon green action lines surrounding their head. Eschscholzia is a young, fat, tan complexion Elf with a neon green Chelsea cut and green eyes with black sclera. They are wearing a dark purple shirt with a thin lined black pattern, a black cape, a red bandana tied around their neck, and a pair of purple lens goggles on top of their head. They are smiling as they point at themself with both pointer fingers. End description.]

Another very cool revenge piece I got from Art Fight, this one of my newest punk child, drawn by the awesome ORiiiON 💚💚💚
