Open Space Flower Frenzy 2021

Flower Bracket - 2021- FINAL

We’ve all heard of March Madness...now get ready for FLOWER FRENZY!

Join us this March for a wildflower-themed tournament to discover which species is the true favorite – while learning about native California flowers! Every week on the Open Space Authority's Facebook page, we’ll host several face-offs between two wildflowers, along with fun facts about each species. Vote for your favorite, and see which species advances to the next round.

At the end of month, we’ll crown this year’s floral favorite, the 2021 Wildflower Winner!

Here's how to participate in #OpenSpaceFlowerFrenzy: For each set of two flowers, vote for your favorite. The flower with the most votes advances to the next face-off. Only one will be crowned champion of #OpenSpaceFlowerFrenzy!

CHAMPIONSHIP ROUND: CALIFORNIA POPPY VS. MARIPOSA LILY

final - FB

WINNER: CALIFORNIA POPPY!

The votes are in and the people have spoken! The CALIFORNIA POPPY takes the crown as this year’s champion of #OpenSpaceFlowerFrenzy!

The Mariposa Lily made a valiant effort in our last round, claiming an impressive 45% of the vote (and coming a long way from receiving only 3 votes when the California State Floral Society voted on our State Flower back in 1890).

We hope you enjoyed participating in #OpenSpaceFlowerFrenzy and learned something new about native wildflowers along the way.

Happy Wildflower Season to all!
