Eschscholtzia species, other than californica

[Paul S]

Do any of you guys grow any of the other annual desert poppies? I had no idea they even existed until this evening, when reading up on E. californica. Plants like E. ramosa, lemmonii, hypecoides?

Grow them? No, but they are everywhere here. Here is a snap from yesterday in an area where they are just starting to pop up.

I grow Eschscholtzia californica ssp. mexicana, or maybe I should say they grow themselves! They've become extremely weedy and can easily take over my entire backyard. In fact, I spent much of today pulling up thousands of them. Don't worry, there's still thousands of them left!

It looks like E.caespitosa and lobbi are available at rareplants.eu.

Be nice to try E.ramosa though - the compact silvery leaves on the pictures I've seen when googling would look great in gravel and gabions around my patio!

Anyone in the states have a source of seed for this species?

[Paul S]

yes, ramosa was the stand out I thought, the others maybe too similar to californica.
I notice they have Hunnemannia seeds, though. That's a pretty thing that I've seen in Mexico.
