It's for Rememberance Day, which is celebrated on the 11th of November. It's a holiday to remember those lost in wars, and has been celebrated since World War I. It falls on November the 11th due to the fact that that is the date when World War I ended.
The selling of red poppies is most likely to raise money for charity, and also to spread awareness. An example of a charity like this is The Poppy Appeal, which helps relatives of the armed forces, and the armed forces themselves.
The poppy was chosen because of the red poppy fields that many battles were fought in.
