I didn't see anything in the instructions about putting stems on the 5,000 (website figure) or 62,000 (Sue's figure). Too bad they don't want bobbin lace poppies, too.

In 2015 when local communities around Australia were producing poppies to commemorate the Centenary of ANZAC it was being said that the War memorial in Canberra wanted to collect all the poppies produced by the different communities and would plant them all in the gardens surrounding the War Memorial. Problem was that many of the poppies produced w62,000ere not on stems and could not be 'planted' and since 2015 the poppies have played a major part in local commemorative services since. I know that locally at least one wreath layed and the ANZAC Centernary commemoration was made from hand made poppies. The rest were put into a huge display. So I believe that the poor War Memorial in Canberra could not go with its original plan and so the request for more poppies. We have until next year so no real panic just pull out your red and black yarns and start knitting, crocheting etc. - To unsubscribe send email to majord...@arachne.com containing the line: unsubscribe lace y...@address.here.
