Sinan-gun 'Daffodil Island Seondo' Yellow Waves Rolling Gently

Golden Rain Flowers in Full Bloom in Place of Daffodils

Shinan-gun, Jeollanam-do (Governor Park Woo-ryang) announced on the 15th that the island of Seondo, known as the island of daffodils which once colored the entire island with the scent of spring herald daffodil flowers during the island daffodil festival, is now spectacularly covered with blooming California poppies.

In the area where daffodils once covered 12 hectares, yellow California poppies are now blooming, swaying in the spring breeze and welcoming visitors who missed the festival and came to Seondo belatedly.

The California poppies, clustered among the turquoise barley fields and harmonizing with the emerald sea, seem to make visitors forget their tardiness as the entire island waves with yellow ripples like a painting.

California poppies, also known as California poppy, grow 30 to 50 cm tall and are a scenic plant whose flowers can be seen from May up to August at the longest.

A county official stated, “In addition to daffodils, we have planted California poppies, golden euonymus, iris, and spiderwort to make Seondo an ‘island blooming with flowers all year round.’ We are continuously promoting color marketing to provide unique scenery and attractions whenever visitors come.”

Meanwhile, to get to Seondo, visitors must use a ferry, which takes about 50 minutes by car ferry from Garyong Ferry Terminal in Aphae-eup.
