Description
Thirty-first pic from the 100 Themes Art Challenge!This is one of the rarest of things: a second chance.
This was to be my Rememberance Day picture (Veterans' Day to those in the USA), but I left it at work last weekend and couldn't finish it in time.
However, with "Flowers" as this theme...
Poppies grow in disturbed soil, and what will disturb soil more than a war?

Nice job, Sam! The flowers are pretty. And yes, you're right about the last sentence.

Thank you.
The poppy is the symbol for remembering our veterans, mostly due to this poem from World War I: [link]

Aww, I love poppies. ^^ They're such cute little red flowers.
This is a really pretty picture and a very nice tribute to Veteran's Day. Nicely done!

Indeed, and I hear the seeds are tasty too... but they're best avoided if one is in a job that requires regular drug tests, as they may give a false positive for opium...
Thank you.

Yeah, I've heard about that too! They did a test of it on Mythbusters!
You're welcome!

I read about it. They proved it true, I think...

Yep. It's a completely plausible scenario.

Heh, I remember drawing something like that back at school...
32 shouldn't take you much time to do it, I think.
