These grow to be up to 3 ft. tall and 3 to 5 inches across. They really are prickly like most things that grow in the desert.

This is the first in a series of images on these wildflowers. I don't usually upload a lot of similar images, but I'm thinking about writing a essay post on poppies in the Tucson desert and these are among the more interesting.
