Matilija Poppies at the Santa Barbra Botanical Garden

The Matilija Poppies are still blooming in the Santa Barbara Botanical Garden.  The meadow has basically finished blooming but there are still California Poppies and other wildflowers blooming in other parts of the garden.

Humboldt's Lily

We went on a hike up Rattlesnake Canyon in Santa Barbara and saw this Humboldt's Lily.  I think the color is striking.  This particular plant was on an embankment above the creek and over seven feet tall.  This plant is native to California and I'm going to look for it the next time I'm at the Santa Barbra Botanical Garden plant shop.
