Eschscholzia californica subsp. californica (California poppy)
Train Time
The California poppy became California’s state flower in 1903 but this wildflower’s reach now extends far beyond the Golden State. This bright orange variety is native to California, Baja California, and Oregon but, what with climate change and all, here’s a healthy specimen thriving next to a railway track in Vancouver, Canada. Yet another international success story, It has now become’ naturalized’ and is considered an invasive species in Australia, South Africa, Argentina and Chile.
However, the California poppy does have one saving grace. It’s really quite beautiful! Does any wildflower say, “I’m loud and I’m proud to be orange.” better than the California poppy?

I'm fond of wildlife photography. But I do enjoy taking a moment to enjoy the flowers.
