They're not roses; they're poppies, in remembrance of Armistice Day.

To be fair to Magnus, the flowers still do not seem to fit the content.

I guess that it must be a little strange to people not used to it all. ?:D ?I believe that the field in which one of the final battles fought in the second world war is now covered in red poppies, and is a stirring sight. Since then, the poppy has always represented war memories in the UK. (Did anyone see the episode of Blackadder Goes Forth?)

First World War.

Poppies were one of the few plants to grow in the horror of the trenches.

Hi!

Interesting how this flower can grow in such horrid conditions.

Even in horror there can be beauty.
