In England Wales, and Northern Ireland remembrance day poppies are mostly paper representatives of the flat Earl Haig attributed design, a flat two petal poppy with a leaf made in Richmond Surrey. (The Car Poppy sold by the Royal British Legion has no leaf). In Scotland remembrance day poppies have four petals and no design has a leaf, they are made by poppyscotland. Countries around the world have other designs. The only significance of the leaf, or no leaf poppy is that it may give a clue to the country where the poppy was, or was not, manufactured. There are no rules governing how, or where to wear a poppy, nor the angle of the leaf if present.

Poppies were the flowers universally planted in so many European graveyards and military cemeteries after the First World War ( Great War ).
