What Is This Orange Flower Blooming On San Juan Island Washington?

Ask the Expert: Can someone please identify this flower?

Eschscholzia californica

Eschscholzia californica

I’m trying to identify the orange flower in the foreground of the attached picture. These were all over the place on San Juan Island, Washington, US. This picture was taken in September 2008. Jason

Jason,

I’m fairly certain that this wildflower is a form of Eschscholzia californica or commonly called California Poppy. Although it is the state flower of California it can be found from western Washington State south to Baja California, and east to western Texas.
