Poppies symbolise remembrance.
The story goes that, following one of the bloodiest battles of World War I, in the fields of Flanders in Western Europe,when the ground was completely churned up and muddied, thousands of red poppies sprang up. The seeds had lain dormant in the soil and, after being aerated with the churning of the soil from the soldiers' boots and fertilised with their blood, the poppies grew abundantly, springing forth new life from death.
This is why poppies are worn on ANZAC Day, Remembrance Day (commemorating Armistice Day) and other solemn occasions when we remember the soldiers who fought or even gave their lives for our freedom.
Another reason poppies came to such prominence in association with World War I is because of how they were immortalised in that most famous poem of WWI, In Flanders Fields, written by John McCrae. This poem is spoken at memorial services everywhere on both ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day.
It honors the 58,150 Australian and the 16,130 New Zealanders who died during WWI.

The significance of the poppy comes the poem "In Flanders Field", the first paragaph of which reads:
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
This poem written by John McCrae, a Canadian officer, during World War I. It is believed that the death of his friend, Alexis Helmer, was the inspiration for his poem.
