A Cacophony of Flowers
Roses come in 3 sizes and as many colors as there are "chenille stems" out there. In this picture you see 3 single short-stem roses, one full size, one medium, and one "micro". Each one is roughly half the size of the next larger. The full-size tend to come apart, so I try to stay with the medium or micro sizes for anything that'll be touched on a regular basis.

These globe-like flowers are called poppies. While there is no strict resemblance to an actual poppy, their shape is somewhat of an inside-out poppy...or that's what a friend told me. These poppies come in all colors and sizes, from small, tight balls just over a centimeter across to large inch-plus widths. They can be very simple, or very complex, sometimes having more than one color incorporated into the top.
