We'll come up with a solution I reckon, just not worked it out properly yet.

You might see what I mean when I post some pics, it is huge and heavy and I would hate to risk it breaking

[Diflower]

I reckon within a few days or so there will be some really good ideas on t'internet
Start googling 'how to display tower poppies' from about tomorrow and there will soon be results

Great minds think alike Di, I said similar to Mick earlier

I'm looking forward to seeing mum's when we go to Scotland next summer - I don't think I realised what they were really like close up...the weight, I mean.

They were so lovely (and sad) when I seen them in September.

They were indeed xxxx

How about a vase full of sand?

Phew! So glad it's finally with you Kaz!

They really are beautiful close up aren't they?! I'm still deciding how to display ours.

I showed it to Joe yesterday, I went into his room while he was playing X Box and surprisingly he stopped what he was doing - usually anything you say or do gets a quick glance and a mumble while he's playing - and came over and sat on his bed looking at the poppy, the certificate and the booklet and then said "that's really lovely..." I think he was quite touched by what he'd seen at the Tower, not that he'd admit to it being 14

I know it's not the way it's meant to be displayed, but what about forgoing the stick / stalk and putting a tea light in it? And whenever you light the candle it will be a reminder of why you bought it?
