    I am seeing a few clumps of white poppies among the many orange, and both are the same family. Is this something new..

      I am guessing this is a genetic variation if the plants have identical structure and are the same species. In terms of frequency at your location you might check with the local chapter of the California Native Plants Society or if you are in another state check your state’s native plants society.
