Description
California Orange Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is a brilliant native wildflower famous for its glowing, golden-orange cup-shaped blossoms and finely divided, lace-like blue-green foliage. Symbolizing warmth and sunny days, these silky petals open brightly under full sun and close gently on cloudy days or during late evening.
