The fields are so bright that a NASA satellite could photograph them from space.
Those who don't live close enough to walk or bike to the state park can view the flowers via livestream.
Here are 10 photos that show California's most famous poppy field in full bloom.
On April 14, NASA's Operational Land Imager captured the Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve in bloom.
The bright orange flowers carpet the rolling hills.
The Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve, a popular spring tourist destination, is currently closed to vehicular traffic.
But the poppies have sprouted up all over Lancaster, California.
In addition to poppies, the warm weather has allowed other flower varieties to flourish this season.
Some locals ventured out to Antelope Valley California Poppy Reserve to enjoy the poppies while practicing social distancing.
One graduate posed in a cap and gown surrounded by the orange blossoms.
Others focused their lenses on the flowers themselves.
Those who don't live close enough to see the flowers in person can view them via livestream.

California poppies aren't used to produce opiates, but the plants do have pain-relieving properties.
