Poppies grow in the fields of Europe, they are wild and very beautiful, when the soldiers fought in WW1 they fought on these very fields, John MacRae a Canadian Soldier wrote a poem about them "In Flanders Field' this is a field in Belgium, so because of this poem the poppy was adopted as an emblem to honour and remember all the soldiers who gave their lives in this and other terrible wars.

When should the red poppy be taken off on remembrance day?
Typical poppy etiquette is to remove your poppy after November 11th. The reason being, for those who attend a local Remembrance Day ceremony, the tradition is to lay your poppy on the cenotaph after the ceremony. If you continue to wear your poppy after November 11th, it shows that you did not attend a ceremony or lay your poppy in respect, thus can be seen as a sign of disrespect.
