mediterranean climate

the california poppy is the state flower of california, but because california is one of the few regions on earth with a “mediterranean climate,” we see a lot of the state flower of california during our visits to southern france. the only difference is that one place is a mediterranean climate right next to the mediterranean sea. and the other place is a mediterranean climate next to the pacific ocean. i am in love with both.
