poppy wreaths
Veterans' memorial flowers
Poppy wreaths are circular arrangements of artificial red poppies, typically laid at war memorials to honor fallen soldiers.
The red poppy became a symbol of military sacrifice after World War I, when the flowers bloomed across the battlefields of Flanders.
In Commonwealth countries, poppy wreaths feature prominently in Remembrance Day ceremonies: Officials laid poppy wreaths at the cenotaph.
