A superb garden flower now grown around the world, this poppy ranges in color from pure white to brilliant scarlet, the yellows and oranges being most commonly seen. Because it closes its petals when the light fades, the Spaniards called it dormidera (one who sleeps). —Henry Evans

The state flower of California, this poppy was first described in print in 1820 by Adelbert von Chamisso, who named it in honor of J. G. Eschscholtz, his companion botanist on the voyage of the Russian ship Rurik along the California coast in 1816. It is believed that they first saw the plant where the city of San Francisco now stands. —Henry Evans
