poppy wreath
Veteran memorial decoration
A poppy wreath is a circular arrangement of artificial red poppies laid at war memorials to honor fallen soldiers.
The red poppy became a symbol of remembrance after World War I, when the flowers bloomed across the battlefields of Flanders.
Poppy wreaths are central to commemorations on Remembrance Day (November 11) in Commonwealth countries: Officials laid a poppy wreath at the cenotaph.
