SUMMARY : Recognizes April 2014, as California Poppy Month.
Specifically, this resolution makes the following legislative
findings:
1)The California poppy is the official flower of the State of
California and symbolizes California's good life, as its color
mirrors California's climate and charm, and the profusion of
its blooms reflects the richness of the Golden State.
2)Many cultures and people in history have used the poppy in
their legends and folklore. Native American history states the
Great Spirit sent the Fire Flower to drive away evils of frost
and famine, and to fill the land with warmth and plenty; the
Spanish said the poppy was an omen, a promise that California
was rich and fertile, and they called it Copa de Oro, the cup
of gold.
3)To the miners of the Gold Rush of 1849, the poppy was symbol
of gold, since the flower and metal shared a common color and
both were abundant.
