Description
Endless Field of Poppies by Nina Prommer -
This field is in the Antelope Valley, not too far from Los Angeles. The California poppy (Eschscholzia Californica) was designated the state flower of California in 1903. Also known as the flame flower, la amapola, and copa de oro (cup of gold), the poppy grows wild throughout California. California Indians valued the poppy as a food source and for the oil extracted from the plant.
Gold is a theme in California symbols: the state colors are blue and gold, the state nickname is The Golden State, and gold is the official state mineral.
