In 1915 Moina Michael was inspired by a poem written by Canadian physician Lieutenant Colonel John McCrea titled In Flanders Fields. McCrea was a doctor during World War I. It is a poem about a very deadly battle during that war that was in Ypres salient where he treated wounded and dying soldiers for seventeen days straight.
When he was writing that poem near the location of the battle he could see poppies springing up from the ground and the first and last lines of the poem mention poppies. Ms. Michael was touched by the poem and conceived of the idea of associating red poppies with Memorial Day. She chose red to symbolize the blood that is spilled during war. She started a campaign to have people wear red poppies on Memorial Day as a symbol of respect. Since then poppies have come to be associated with both Memorial Day and Veterans Day.
Poppies are the flower that go with Remembrance day.

'Heather' blooms and is a light purple when it does bloom. It is closely associated with Ireland. The only other botanical that springs to mind is the 'Clover', which normally has 3 green leaves, but 4 is termed lucky in wives tales. Hope this is helpful.
