The California Poppy

The Cortada Alta Vineyard is vibrantly blooming with poppies!! 😍

The is also known as the golden poppy, California sunlight or cup of gold.

Poppies are native to the United States and Mexico. They are naturally occurring throughout California, extending to Oregon, southern Washington, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, and in Mexico in Sonora and northwest Baja California.. It became the official state flower of California in 1903.

Poppies flower from February to September, but most heavily flower from March to May.
Their petals close at night or in cold, windy weather and open again the following morning, although they may remain closed in cloudy ☁️ weather.

: Poppies are also used as food or a garnish. The flowers and their petals are mainly used as garnish, their seeds are used in salads, salad dressings, breads and on bagels! 😋 … Poppies are also used for medicinal purposes, such as anxiety, insomnia, aches, and many other purposes. *There is no solid scientific evidence to support these uses according to the American Medical Journal. 😉
