With a beautiful pop of bright orange, it's no wonder that the California poppy is the official flower of the Golden State. 🧡 These stunning flowers are endemic to California and are an important pollen source to pollinators such as butterflies and bees. On your next Zoo visit, take a look around to find clusters of these joyful flowers dotted among our native pollinator gardens. #CaliforniaPoppyDay #CaliforniaPoppy #Flowers | Los Angeles Zoo
