Some bouquets need a vase. This one just needed an old pitcher and a little sunlight.
A generous bunch of poppies fills a simple white ceramic pitcher — ruffled, tissue-thin petals in peach, coral, and soft pink, layered loosely with a few unopened buds nodding over the rim. Slender green stems and small white filler blossoms fill in the gaps, and the whole arrangement is painted in loose, confident washes against a clean white background, with Melissa's signature, "M. Hyatt," tucked at the base of the pitcher.
Poppies are famously fleeting — their crepe-paper petals often last only a day or two once cut — which is part of why they show up again and again in cutting gardens and still-life paintings alike. Long associated with remembrance and rest, they also carry a simple, sunny warmth in a cottage-garden arrangement like this one, with their early-summer bloom window echoed in the bouquet's warm peach and coral palette.
Poppies join Melissa's Floral Minis collection as a natural pair with "June Blossoms," and sit alongside "Dahlia.” Blank inside, so it works equally well as a bouquet tag, a gift enclosure, or a quick note tucked into wrapping paper.
