A beautiful display of California Poppies glowing the afternoon sun on a warm spring day. The flowers are indigenous to the west coast of Mexico and California and can be found all the way up to Oregon. They grow particularly profusely in the poppy fields of the Antelope Valley Poppy Reserve near Lancaster, CA. These are from a garden flowerbed. This gorgeous cup shaped flower is so common in California,with its color that seems to embody the warmth of the California sunshine that it was named the State Flower of California.
