California is one of the largest states of the United States of America. The Californian landscape is varied as the state is surrounded by the Pacific Ocean on one side and mountains on the other. California is host to the Mojave Desert and has many rivers flowing through it. The Californian soil is rich for the growth of wildflowers. These wildflowers grow unattended by themselves, spreading their beauty everywhere they bloom.

The people of California are very proud of the Californian wild flowers. The California wild flowers are protected by law; there is a fine of $500 for every flower picked. The months of March to July are the prime months for the growth of California wild flowers. In desert areas, due to harsh weather conditions, the peak growth season is from March to May. Though in more fertile areas like the sierra, California wild flowers bloom from April to September, whereas in the coastal areas, the months of March to June are the most fertile.

Since the California wild flowers are not cultivated or planted, their growth depends on the amount of rainfall throughout the year. The southern Californian belt is witness to the maximum growth of California wild flowers. The official state flower of California is the Golden Poppy. The Golden Poppy was declared to be the state flower on December 12, 1890. The California Golden Poppy is bright orange in color and has sheen of gold enshrouding it. In sunshine it radiates and is transformed into beautiful golden blossoms.
