拍品专文

Sir Cedric Morris was as keen a gardener as he was a painter, and he bred several plants which were duly named after him, including a rose, geranium, daffodil, poppies and irises. Papaver Orientale 'Cedric Morris' is a large poppy of greyish-pink with a purple-black blotch at the base of each frilled petal. His gardens and flowers inspired other gardeners including Vita Sackville-West, Beth Ditto and Tony Venison.
