California Poppies

Today we photographed our beautiful state flower, the California Poppy! Here are some fun facts we learned about California Poppies:

• The poppy is also known as: The Flame Flower
• Early explorers sighted “Hills of golden flowers”
• The poppy grows wild throughout California
• April 6 is California Poppy Day!

I am so impressed with my little students -they had so much fun running from yard to yard spotting poppies and photographing them. It was amazing to see how quickly they were able to identify the poppies, and differentiate them from other flowers.

Here are our wonderful images:
