I went to a funeral recently and we were each given a pack of wild poppy seeds to scatter wherever we wanted - more in the spirit of life-affirming remembrance than a recognition of sacrifice.
Actually the red poppy became a symbol of remembrance due to its mention in the poem In Flanders Fields by John McCrae, inspired by the flowers growing on WWI battlefields.
Poppies are fascinating flowers with rich symbolism, cultural significance, and practical uses.
And one of the most significant use of this red poppies, they are symbolize remembrance and are worn to honor fallen soldiers, particularly during events like Remembrance Day or Veterans Day. 🫡💔💐.
