The Golden State

California is called "the Golden State" for several reasons; the 1849 Gold Rush, the colour of the hills after the green of late winter and early spring has faded, and poppies. Luscious, beautiful golden poppies - California Golden Poppies. Our state flower and one of the prettiest of wildflowers that bloom every spring. I love the colour and the delicate thiness of the petals, that dance in the slightest breeze.
