California Poppy: State Flower of California Botanical Lady Print

State flower of California: California Poppy Symbolism: Peace, Sleep, and Resilience The California Poppy is a cup of golden petals which opens and closes mirroring the sunlight’s intensity, closing fully to “go to sleep” after sunset. Their feathery hues ripple through wild fields, creating a peaceful yellow glow that stops a viewer in their tracks. These blossoms were long used as medicine for indigenous communities and are no doubt an elixir for the eyes to come upon.
