Poppy - ATC May 2016



The California poppy (Eschscholzia Californica) was designated the state flower of California in 1903. Also known as the flame flower, la amapola, and copa de oro (cup of gold), the California poppy grows wild throughout the state. Native Americans in California valued the poppy as a food source and for the oil extracted from the plant. Every year, April 6 is California Poppy Day and May 13th - 18th is Poppy Week. Gold is a theme in California symbols; the state colors are blue and gold, the state nickname is The Golden State, and gold is the official state mineral.

Poppy week is coming up, who knew?!

I like poppys and didn't know there was a CA version that's this color! Great photo and I love all the special touches on this ATC especially the glitter.

For some reason I've always loved poppies. We used to have some pink poppies growing wild in Texas. Your care is very pretty!
