Spring has arrived

I decided that I needed a little spring inside the house too, since it is finally appearing outside.  There were originally some paper roses here but they had exceeded their expiration dates.



So now there are great big fat something or others.  Maybe they are poppies on steroids?  I just like the colors and they DO make a splash.

AND, if you get up close you will recognize the centers of the flowers as something Gill commented on the other day.  Nothing goes to waste, right?
