Flowers of the week.

Poppies.
What a beautiful winter flower. They always remind me of my childhood. Being at primary school, walking home and seeing them in front gardens while I walked up Castle St each afternoon.
I love these because they are such glorious warm colours and are such strange delicate creatures. Can flowers be creatures? I'm saying yes for now.

If you are not a regular poppy admirer and you do get some to brighten up a wintery week, don't be discouraged if they don't open up straight away. If there isn't alot of light in the room, they will take a while...but most of them will open up and say Hello eventually.
