The poppy is a powerful symbol of dreams, vision and the psyche. Some say they speak to the potential found in unconventional reality and messages wafting through our dreams.

I love exploring this flower as I find it so unpredictable and simply magical.

They have a very short blooming season, so getting them is always a special feeling.

‘It is an intensely simple, intensely floral flower. All silk and flame, a scarlet cup...like a burning coal fallen from Heaven's altars' John Ruskin
