When is it correct to begin wearing a Remembrance poppy?
There is no right or wrong time to begin wearing one.The poppies usually begin going on sale about the 1st or 2nd of November, depending on geographical location. Many people will wear them as soon as they buy them.However "traditionalists" claim the best time to start wearing a poppy is from the 2nd November until the 12th November.Remembrance Day itself is on the 11th November. The Remembrance ceremony takes place at 11am. In other words, the 11th hour of the 11th day in the 11th month, which commemorates Armistice Day.Recommended book:Great Events: Remembrance Day by Gillian Clements

Why is the green leaf on the poppy only used in England and not Scotland?
You really need to ask the English. Poppies do not have green leaves like that. The Scottish poppy is a more accurate representation. I believe the green leaf is supposedly for asthetic purposes, but it's a mystery to me. The English are correct poppy is worn over the heart and the leaf is worn at the 11 o'clock position to signify the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.The date and time war ended and the date and time we all remember.It is not for aesthetic purposes!
