These too are of a burning color–not orange, not gold, but if pure gold were liquid and could raise a cream, that golden cream might be like the color of the poppies.
~John Steinbeck

When you go for a walk, take seeds with you, poppies, rainbow chard, rocket. Plant them among the weeds in patches of wasteland. See what happens.
~Tom Hodgkinson

    One of my favourite flowers, beautifully photographed, and a quote from Steinbeck, one of my favourite authors – perfect 🙂
