Happy 4th! **==

Don't have to look...California Poppy...one of my favorites!

Orange blossom

Well - yes, I know ours - since it's one of about 5 flowers I do know - the rose.

My state flower if the California Poppy too..although I haven't seen any in ages.

Happy 4th of July to you kopp, have a safe and fun weekend.

Hi Fodorites, even if you do know your state flower I encourage you to click on the website kopp posted..it is very beautiful!! Thanks kopp

LoveItaly, no poppies, really? They are serious weeds here in San Jose, and you're not that far away.

Kopp, that was a beautiful site. It was well worth watching.
Thanks.

Yes, I'm in San Jose too and we do have a decent amount of poppies in the hills and fields around here. :-)

Beautiful kopp! Thanks.

I planted Poppy's in my flower garden in my back yard. Still have a few blooming.

Honestly you San Jose Fodorites, I hadn't thought about it but I haven't seen any poppies for ages. I use to have them behind our fence in Benicia..I also have noticed we are not having any butterflies where I live either. That bothers me to tell you the truth.

Down here in Texas, it's the Bluebonnets that we love so much. Peak season is March/April. This year's crop was pitiful as the winter rains never came to germinate them.

Lady Bird Johnson started a program way back when to beautiful the Texas roadways. So in a good rain year, our highways are filled with bluebonnets and other wildflowers. Families tromp through the flowers to get that perfect photo. I love to see the young'uns all dressed up, with their pup, getting the perfect picture!

kopp...you beat me to it! :)

California poppies are still blooming on my propery, amazing as it may be!! They are hanging around longer than usual this year. Perhaps it is due to the wet spring.

Kopp, beautiful web site. Thanks.

Here in Alabama it's the beautiful camellia.

Years ago, the state flower was goldenrod, which is a weed that grows everywhere here, but is the cause of much hay fever distress in the fall!

Cherokee rose, GA.

sallyjane - I had to go to the list to look up your flower. Very pretty yet so unlike any rose I've ever seen. Is it fragrant as well?

Thank you so much, Kopp! The rhododendrons are finished up here in Washington, but what a joy it is to see them when they are in bloom.

I use Jacquie Lawson's "Labrador" cards to send to friends, but I didn't know about this one. I can think of lots of people I'll be sending it to.

Happy Fourth, everyone.
