Iceland Poppy Faux Stems

A jug of these on a side table changes the temperature of a room — the colours are properly saturated rather than dusty, so they read as a bright spot from the doorway rather than something you only notice up close. The petals stay crinkled and papery instead of going glossy, which is why they hold up on a hall table where people pass within arm's reach. Slim wired stems bend and stay bent, so one bunch opens out for a tall vase or trims down for a jug. Buds and open blooms arrive together, which is what makes it look picked rather than bought.
