Matilijas at la Madre Grande. #Romneya sp.. I don’t know how to tell R. trichocalyx and R. coulteri apart from the seed pods. But they’re both #matilijapoppy, which look like big sunny-side-up eggs when in bloom. The rock formations here are beautiful. I’m sure that they must have had some significance to the ancient Kumeyaay. I know that there’s a peak relatively nearby that plays an important role in a solstice ritual that people still participate in to this day. I think this one rock has some #xenoliths in it? #jamulca #kumeyaayland (at Jamul, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CUYPB4VLnIC/?utm_medium=tumblr
