The California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is a vibrant and resilient flower native to California.
Throughout history, it has held significant symbolism for various cultures. Native American tribes associated it with dreams, visions, and inner journeys, while Spanish colonizers saw it as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
In modern times, the California Poppy remains an emblem of hope, growth, and renewal. It officially became the state flower in 1903, representing the natural beauty of California and the resilience of its people. This iconic flower symbolizes “California dreaming”—the pursuit of dreams and optimism for a better life.
