    I dont think it’s a California poppy. California poppies have 4 petals of the same size and shape, evenly spaced on the flower. They also have thin, long, bifurcated leaves.

    This plant has flowers with 5 petals, and they arent uniform. This flower has bilateral symmetry, but not radial symmetry like California poppy. Additionally this plant has broad short rounded leaves.

    I think it’s some kind of violet. They look very happy, whatever you are doing is clearly working

      Damn, that’s the information I like to get. Trying to get that myself would involve an hour of research. Never would of thought to count petal or sepal amounts.
