50 Paper Poppy Flowers for Scrapbooking, Veteran's Day Decoration by ScrapFlowers … (Red)

I ordered these for the office for Veteran's day. Pins separate. They were the perfect little pop of color. We will do this again for Memorial Day and it will become a tradition. You can easily look up the tradition of red poppies on the internet. Wikipedia says: "Canadian physician Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Lieutenant Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. According to legend, fellow soldiers retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially dissatisfied with his work, discarded it. "In Flanders Fields" was first published on December 8 of that year in the London magazine Punch.It is one of the most quoted poems from the war. As a result of its immediate popularity, parts of the poem were used in efforts and appeals to recruit soldiers and raise money selling war bonds. Its references to the red poppies that grew over the graves of fallen soldiers resulted in the remembrance poppy becoming one of the world's most recognized memorial symbols for soldiers who have died in conflict. The poem and poppy are prominent Remembrance Day symbols throughout the Commonwealth of Nations, particularly in Canada, where "In Flanders Fields" is one of the nation's best-known literary works. The poem is also widely known in the United States, where it is associated with Veterans Day and Memorial Day." Highly recommend.

This is intended to be used in connection with education and a donation appeal for Veterans. The detail in this small flower is ideal and attractive, while keeping the costs low. This will help a great deal in educating others on the reason the poppy was chosen by many countries to keep the memories of fallen men and women in conflict, remember their sacrifices, and show support to those still serving today.

This is a high quality paper flower with realistic details. Very sturdy and I think will be durable. I can also manipulate the petals to be flat or poofy as I please. They are just perfect for the card making purposes I had in mind and the bendable stems makes them easy to arrange in a mini bouquet in a mini vase also. I used the leftover flowers for that. I am very pleased and would certainly purchase these again.

Not what I expected. I ordered these to pass out at church for Veterans Day. I guess I didn't look closely enough at the description. They were way smaller than I expected. I guess I need to read more carefully about the descriptions from now on. They are tiny.

These poppy flowers are adorable. I purchased these to invitations for a Wizard of OZ themed party. They are perfect for invitations. I used hot glue to fasten them to the paper. Please read the size description. I can imagine people expecting larger flowers.

Item was delivered on date indicated.Unfortunately, the poppies are very small. I guess I did not read the description very well. They would we nice for crafts but not as a poppy for Memorial Day.

I expected something slightly larger, not because they weren't clear in their description, it's just that I remember poppies that I bought from the veterans...we're good with that, they were very reasonable and served their purpose...

They are charming but much smaller than I expected. Size dimensions in the description would have been helpful.
