Carnival Poppy (Hesperomecon linearis), photographed on 6 April 2013.  Sometimes the petals turn reddish with age — see left-hand flower above.  In that flower, you can also see the tip of the developing fruit (greenish point in center).
For a comparison of all three poppies found on Bodega Head, review the post from 22 March 2012.
