I will be donating the proceeds of my new fire poppy & California dogface butterfly stickers and postcards to organizations helping out the people of Los Angeles who are displaced from the fires. Funds will be donated to four organizations.

You can find the 🔗 here to the fundraiser.

I called LA home in my formative college and young adult years and it’s home to some of the most resilient, hardworking people I know. This is the least I can do to give back to the community and support people in the state I’ve lived in my whole life.

While the California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is perhaps the state’s most iconic flower, the fire poppy (Papaver californicum) is a rare California-endemic wildflower that deserves recognition too. What’s notable about this plant is that it only flowers following a wildfire. Many of California’s native plants are obligate seeders, meaning that they regenerate from seed banks following wildfires as part of the region’s ecology. While the destruction of these wildfires is horrific, these wildflowers serve as a reminder that even after severe devastation, life finds a way to persevere. ❤️
