Two of my botanical models, corn poppy in the centre and opium poppy on the right, are currently on display in the ‘Poppies for Remembrance’ exhibition at National Museum Cardiff. The yellow welsh poppy model on the left was created Eveline Jenkins, the museum’s botanical artist from 1927 to 1959. The exhibition explores how the poppy became a symbol of remembrance and also the science of poppy biodiversity. The display is open until 3rd March 2019. .
