Poppy...

“And left the flushed print in a poppy there.” - Francis Thompson

 

From its association with poppies flowering in the spring of 1915 on the battlefields of Belgium, France and Gallipoli the poppy has become synonymous with great loss of life in war.

 

Artists and photographers also love the poppy as subject material. Understandably so as they are truly beautiful flowers! This one was growing in fields near our home!
