The sage mixed with the bright green and gray-green shrubs is a great effect--and the backdrop doesn't hurt! I've planted A. californica, mostly because it's more local to these parts. But I think the Great Basin version is a lot more striking in the garden. Your Convict Lake photo is amazing.

I don't know that they actually hurt to work around, the way some plants like Berberis do, but the leaves have that "don't touch me" look. Prickly poppy is the more spiny one of the two.

I've read everything I could find on the Internet about them, but I've never seen one in person. Could you elaborate on the spininess? Where are the spines located? Are they present year-round?
