Angelenos’ favorite spring past time is visiting the amazing views of the California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) at the Poppy Reserve in Antelope Valley. You can find the CA Poppy in almost all of Los Angeles County’s Significant Ecological Areas! The CA Poppy was chosen as the state’s official flower in 1903 and April 6 of each year is officially designated as California Poppy Day.
