California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica)

California Poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is traditionally used to support everyday wellness. California poppy (Eschscholzia californica) is the bright orange state flower of California and a member of the poppy family native to the grasslands and open hillsides of western North America. Unlike its opium-poppy cousin, California poppy contains no morphine or codeine; instead it produces a gentle set of isoquinoline alkaloids — including californidine, eschscholzine, and protopine — together with flavonoids and carotenoids.
