Do you know the history of the red poppies in Georgetown?
“A young soldier sent home seeds from Flanders’ Fields during WWI and the Red Poppies began to grow wild across Georgetown for many years. Although the flowers no longer grow wild as they once did, the citizens of Georgetown have worked diligently to preserve the City’s history and beauty by cultivating these wonderful Red Poppy flowers in locations across town.”
So when this family requested flowers for their photo session and the bluebonnets were done for the season in Austin – we headed North to Georgetown instead. The poppy-filled Sunken Gardens in San Gabriel Park in Georgetown, Texas made a great Spring back-drop.
