(Carpenteria californica)
This is a rare plant, found in only a few places in California.
I happened to encounter this bunch on the old road up to Shaver Lake
in Fresno County. It looks strikingly like a Matilija poppy, with its
six wrinkled white petals and many yellow stamens, but this particular
plant was a bushy tree about twenty feet tall.
