California poppy - the State flower of California if I recall correctly. And yes, it belongs to the true Poppy Family so deserves its name.

Although this flower is ablaze with colour, I actually found the b/w picture the most intriguing.

Nr. 2 is good,  the black and white is really great.

I also find the b/w really great - reminds me of the work of Karl Blossfeldt: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karl_Blossfeldt
