These POPPY flowers  have really brightened the bedroom of my husband who is confined to bed.  Fresh flowers do not last long enough to allow him to enjoy something cheery.  The color (red) is so bright that he sees them well.  I know this is a great item for anyone, but for a bed-ridden patient, the enjoyment is maximized.  Glad I purchased such a small thing that does so much.  Jan in Tucson
