Open Thread: Poppy

Hosted by a red poppy

"Poppies!  Poppies will make them sleep! Sleeeeep..."  *cackle of laughter*

Poppies!  Symbol of Veterans/Remembrance Day, source of opium, reminder of that weird creepy scene from The Wizard of Oz, or just a pretty, brightly-colored spring flower.  As Spring has officially Sprung, I thought it would be appropriate to have a pretty flower as an open thread!

Open Thread!  Talk about poppies and what associations they have for you, or talk about other flowers, or just talk!

Wednesday Reminder!  Open threads are meant to be fun, chatty places to discuss anything that doesn’t “fit” into a deconstruction or other regular thread.  This can be something totally off-the-wall and random, or it can be something interesting that a deconstruction prompted you to think of, but which would be derailing to get into in the deconstruction thread.  When in doubt, move it over here - that’s what it’s for!  

And, like on all threads: please remember to use the "post new comment" feature rather than the "reply" feature, even when directly replying to someone else!
