Renoir's poppies.
Van Gogh's Irises.
My friend's roses.
Stories Collected While Living in France
That’s so cute, Renoir, Van Gogh, your friend, lol. The pic of the poppies really does bring to mind Renoir’s paintings!
Irises, my favorite. The roses look like what we call wild roses. Lovely.
You’re a good six weeks ahead of us on Spring flowers — just starting to have daffodils open here. Can hardly wait till we catch up with you!

LOVE!
Such lovely flowers.

If you’re interested check out the 5000 poppies project. I left some of these poppies on graves of unknown Australian soldiers while visiting France and Belgium in 2013. One of them my husband’s ancestor.
