I saw a fantastic today photo and the background of the photo was:

"A woman gives a bunch of poppies to members of the public in Madrid, Wednesday, June 4, 2008. Some 100,000 poppies were placed in three different places in the city to celebrate the arrival of summer. (Photo: AP Photo/Paul White)"

Is this an annual event in Madrid?

Thanks
Bill

Hi Bill,

That was a commercial event created by Kenzo Fragancies. It took place before in other big cities around the world. It was a very nice idea despite the flowers were not natural poppies.

Thanks for the reply. But I am kind of disappointed to read that flowers were fake.

Bill
