The Orange California Poppy, the official state flower of California, is a radiant wildflower native to the western United States and Mexico. Its silky, cup-shaped blooms in vibrant shades of orange have been admired for centuries, symbolizing warmth, resilience, and natural beauty.

Easy to grow and drought-tolerant, this annual flourishes in full sunlight and poor soils where many other flowers struggle. It is a low-maintenance pollinator magnet, attracting bees and butterflies while brightening gardens with its cheerful display.

Traditionally, the California poppy has also been valued in herbal remedies for its calming and soothing properties. Today, it remains a favorite not only for its ornamental charm but also for its ability to naturalize and reseed, returning year after year with minimal care.
