red poppies
Remembrance Day blooms
Red poppies are flowers of the genus Papaver, typically with delicate scarlet petals and a dark center.
They grow wild in fields and along roadsides, blooming prolifically in disturbed soil.
In Britain and Commonwealth countries, red poppies symbolize remembrance of soldiers who died in war, stemming from their abundance on World War I battlefields: She wore a red poppy on Remembrance Day.
