Perhaps one of the most iconic flowers in the world is the Poppy, a symbol of remembrance and hope for peace in the future. A resilient flower that survives in the harshest environments, it often provides a welcome burst of colour. Also known as a natural source of opiates, the Poppy has been used to induce sleep for centuries, leading it to be associated with sleep and imagination. From the traditional red poppy that symbolises love and sacrifice, but also success and good fortune, to the rare blue poppy that represents faith in a higher spiritual power, this crochet version will remain bright and beautiful from season to season.
