What is Eschscholzia?
Eschscholzia is the family of the Papaveraceae family, which includes a dozen species of flowering plants. Most plants in this family are annuals or perennials and are slightly toxic. These plants develop cylindrical fruit with small seeds and carry flowers that usually close when clouds are confronted. Plants eSchscholzia have clearly petals in the shape of a wedge and benefit in a dry, warm climate. This plant has been renowned in the United States as a state flower of California and is very common in the Western United States. Native Americans once used this plant for healing purposes and extracts can be smoked to activate a slight sedative effect.
Eschscholzia Californica is widely recognized as potentially invasive species in the United States. However, it was imported into many countries like Chile. Introduction to Chile, Argentina and South Africa is speculated as intentional for ornamental purposes. In Chile, the seeds of this plant were allowed by chanceKhan with seeds of other flowering plants and rapid spread of the species was not surprising. For unknown reasons, plants in Chile seem to be doing even better than in its native country. Since 2010, no effort to check eSchscholzia californica in Chile has been known.
Another species, Eschscholzia Ramosa is a wild kmfát, which is originally from the California Norman Islands in California. It is an annual herb that has stems that grow up to 1 foot (0.3 m) high. Poppy flowers are yellow with orange spots. This plant is often confused with its close relatives, eSchscholzia elegans . Unlike the poppy California, this species - and most other species in the genus - is not a potentially invasive.
Much more rare species, eSchscholzia kombipetala or diamond California poppy was once considered extinct in the age of 70 because it was not possible to find any gradesplants. At the beginning of the 90s. Years were redesigned in a relatively small area of California and in a federally funded California Research Center. The plant favors growth in clay soil, which often collects fresh puddles of water; This, along with the fact that he usually mixes with his surroundings, is almost invisible. Since 2010, it has been on the official list of endangered species, albeit because of the previous confusion about its continuing existence, many people still believe that it is already extinct.
