THE STORY OF BEAUTY
The Poppy is a flower that opens its delicate, translucent petals wide, blooming as it sways gently in the wind.
Its light and seemingly fragile appearance carries a sense of freedom and graceful expansiveness.
Poppies have been deeply connected with human life since ancient times.
In ancient Egypt and the Mediterranean world, poppies were also used for their sedative and pain-relieving properties.
Over time, various species of poppy spread across the world alongside human movement and cultivation, and came to be cherished as ornamental flowers in many regions, including Europe, Asia, North America, and Oceania.
From the corn poppy and Iceland poppy to the Oriental poppy, each has its own distinctive form and color, bringing beauty to gardens and landscapes around the world.
A group of flowers can cross borders and discover new expressions of beauty in each place where it takes root.
And the petals of the poppy sway even in the slightest breeze.
Yet to sway does not mean to be weak.
To be delicate and to be strong.
These two qualities can exist at the same time.

BEAUTY OF HAPPINESS
Sometimes, we try to become stronger so that we will not be hurt.
Yet the poppy lives gracefully, embracing its own delicacy.
To feel.
To sway.
And still, to bloom as ourselves.
The poppy gently teaches us that we can be both delicate and strong, remaining graceful and resilient at the same time.
