Happy #CaliforniaPoppyDay

It’s California Poppy Day!
🌿🧡🌿🧡🌿🧡🌿🧡🌿

April 6th was chosen to honor the state's official flower, the California poppy (Eschscholzia californica). The flower's bright orange and yellow blooms were chosen in 1903 to symbolize the Golden State.

Today, April 6, is #CaliforniaPoppyDay (Eschscholzia californica)!
Did you know that the petals close at night (or in cold, windy weather) & open again the following morning? This behavior is called #nyctinasty. Enjoy these four pics from our docents!

Yesterday was #CaliforniaPoppyDay and remember to also celebrate its most common neighbor, the beautiful sky lupine! (Lupinus nanus). Especially if they are hosting a spotless ladybird beetle (Cycloneda sanguinea)! #RememberLupine
