Did you Know? An entire song has been written about California poppies. Based on the words to this song, can you imagine what the flowers do at night? Pretty poppies golden, In thy yellow cup Sunbeams bright, lend their light, Honey bees doth sup In thy bed so dainty, Soothe to slumbers deep, Poppies, golden poppies, Flowers fair and sweet, Pretty poppies golden bright, good night, good night, Nod your little golden heads, good night, good night. (Words by Mary A. Lombard, music by Leo Bruck wrote the music; Re-printed by E. E. Smith in The Golden Poppy)
