Matilija poppy bound to catch your eye in June, as the bloom season for California native plants winds down. Native to Southern California, it's a strapping shrub with bright white, yellow-centered flowers, up to 9 inches wide. It's often called fried egg plant, for obvious reasons. Definitely not dainty and definitely not for formal gardens, this is a good choice for wilder, drier parts of a big garden, particularly hillsides. Beware, though: In favorable spots it can spread widely by underground suckers, which is great for erosion control but not so good if you're trying to maintain better-behaved plants nearby.
