Poppies are associated with Rememberance Day.....
As a result of fierce fighting and bombing during WW1, landscapes were turned to ruin. However, resilient poppy flowers flourished – creating bright red fields, which many symbolise as a remembrance of the blood spilled on the battlefields.
The fields of poppies also provided inspiration to the Canadian soldier and poet; John McCrae who wrote the incredibly well-known poem 'In Flanders Fields'.
As far back as 1921, just three years’ after the end of WW1, artificial red poppies were sold in the United Kingdom to raise money in support of ex-servicemen and the families of fallen soldiers.
