california colors - CA State Poppy Reserve
These glorious fields of Poppies blanketed the California shore in the late 1700's. Spanish sailors described these fields as rivers of gold which flowed some 25 miles toward the ocean.
The California Poppy was named the state flower in 1903. Prior to that time great fields of Poppies were found throughout the State. Today, while Poppies grow in many areas, the only large fields left are in the western Antelope Valley.
