Tower Of London Poppies
35 Answers
I've just received the first of my poppies! Much heavier than I expected with a very solid stem. You have to assemble it yourself - full instructions enclosed in the box. Apparently they are susceptible to frost so not to be left in the garden in very cold weather.

Yes, I wondered if it might be too heavy. Although I could fill the vase with decorative sand maybe. I don't want to put mine in the garden for all the local cats to pee on!

Meglet -the stem is about 45cm. and is a solid rod. We have followed the instructions but the poppy doesn't seem to fit very well. The poppy head is really heavy so unless the vase is heavy it could topple over! Managed to get the rust of with a Brillo pad (other makes are available). They are probably best suited to put in the garden which I suppose is what they were designed for. Somebody said they were going to get theirs framed but the poppy is a good 3inches deep so not sure how that would look.
