Quote : | " Scarlet corn poppies (popaver rhoeas) grow naturally in conditions of disturbed earth throughout Western Europe. The destruction brought by the Napoleonic wars of the early 19th Century transformed bare land into fields of blood red poppies, growing around the bodies of the fallen soldiers.
In late 1914, the fields of Northern France and Flanders were once again ripped open as World War One raged through Europe's heart. Once the conflict was over the poppy was one of the only plants to grow on the otherwise barren battlefields. " | ] 11/11/2013 1:52:30 PM

It is for United Kingdom's (and the commonwealth's) version of Veterans Day, Remembrance Day. I think the USA called it Remembrance Day up until WWII but I don't know why it was changed. Perhaps because Veteran's Day recognizes current living veterans whereas Remembrance sounds more like it focuses on just those of the past? 11/11/2013 5:10:55 PM
