A source for paper poppies?

[Pleater]

If you want British Legion ones I could keep an eye out for the first ones on sale and send you some. Air mail is usually under one week.

They are only two paper petals, with a plastic stalk -

They always want to give me more poppies than I need - the Legion organised a holiday by the sea for my Dad when he was unable to get out of the house, so I give them folding money.

Let me know your terrestial address in a PM, and how many poppies you'd like, if you want the British ones.

In Flanders Fields


In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

I would be happy to send you one or two of the Canadian version by post, KD, just end me you postal address by PM. For more than that I suggest you contact the Royal Canadian Legion as suggested by Slohairt. The advantage of the Canadian plastic version -- for you -- will be their longevity. In the UK and Canada, of course, they are annually sold to raise funds for veteran-related organisations.
