I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

I'll have to read a little more about this day of remembrance. Is it something from WWI?

Poppies and Iris? Very pretty and timely.
How lovely that you remembered. Somehow in these days of rush, so few stop for two minutes at 11 on the 11th of the 11th.
The poppies remind me also of that horrendous battle at Waterloo a hundred years before, when the fields ran with blood and were strewn with the dead and dieing.
Will mankind never learn?
The contrast of white and red is really great. The words are strong but they're the truth.
Have a good week ahead Gemma!

Beautiful poppies. We will wear our red poppies in memory of those who served and continue to serve to protect our freedom. November 11th is Remembrance Day here.
Beautiful poppies. We wear paper poppies here on our U.S. Veteran's Day, which coincides with Remembrance Day. Thanks for sharing these beautiful flower photos.
