I presume you mean the Poppies which are worn in the week around Rememberance Day (11th of November). This is done to mark the anniversary of the end of World War I, and in respect to soldiers who have died in subsequent wars. It is a reference to the poppies which grew in the battlefieds of Belgium and France, where thousands of soldiers were killed (unlike World War II, fighting was very concentrated and thousands of soldiers died in the same battlefields) On the 11th November, two minutes of silence are held at 11am, the time when the Armistice was signed.

Is the kan flower a gay symbol?

I have been asked a similar question about a Kan Flower. However kan is simply the word for flower in Chinese. You might be referring to the Carnation flower, and in particular the green Carnation. A green Carnation was worm by Oscar Wilde and was thereafter adopted as a wearable sign of being homosexual. Noel Coward wrote a song for the musical 'Bitter Sweet' called 'We all Wear a Green Carnation'. It is available with clips from Jeeves & Wooster on YouTube called: Jeeves & Wooster - We All Wear a Green Carnation.
