Product Details
Poppies are one of the world’s most recognizable flowers, and their common presence in crop fields has inspired a number of paintings and representations in which the bright red dominates the scene.
Instead, the Falling in Love variety, which is a breed selection for ornamental purposes, has scarlet-orange, rose, pink and peach-colored semi-double, double or picotee bicolored blooms.
Nonetheless, they share the scarlet poppy’s association with sleep, hypnosis and death, dating back to the Greeks, who associated this flower with Morpheus, the god of sleep and dreams. Later, in the 19th century, it became a favorite of the pre-Raphaelite aesthetic.
