Papaver (Opium Poppy)

L0404W 2004

Floral Secrets series

The range of weights were all originally based on the rather more dark connection of their uses over the centuries as poisons. A subject the designer researched in some depth! The marketing director amongst others at the time decided that was too "scary" a story to put out and so the series was put out under the "Medicinal" theme.
