California Poppin’

March 28th, 2014 by Karen 12 Comments





In my neighborhood.

This here is the California poppy, also known as Eschscholzia californica, the official state flower of California.

Right now they’re blooming all over the place!

Aren’t they beautiful?

    Such a gorgeous, vibrant colour, especially against the asphalt and green. 🙂

    How gorgeous! I have yet to see one… and I’m from the Bay Area. How awesome that you’re surrounded by them! 🙂

      Hi Mishell,

      There’s a ton of them up around the hills here in Novato. It’s awfully pretty.

      Hope you have a wonderful weekend.

    Kinda reminds me of Chanel’s Excentrique lol though the flowers are much more beautiful 🙂
