Bottom left reads, "Ken Shockey (c) 1986." Bottom right reads, "Twenty-eighth in the series of East bay Municipal Utility District posters to encourage the proper use and conservation of water."





Poster has a white background with green and black text. Main image is a drawing of the Matilija Poppy to the left, with three blossoms atop green stalks with multiple leaves. Poster reads, "The Colors of California/ The Matilija Poppy (Romneya coulteri), a showy drought-resistant perennial, grows from cuttings or seed. Deep-watering once a week extends its summer blooming period; but in the wild it depends on winter rains, with no water in summer. pletiful crepe-paper-white blossoms with sunny yellow centers may grow six inches wide on stems up to eight feet tall-a dramatic background for you garden palette of California colors."
