Poppy flowers, particularly the opium poppy, are often associated with the color red due to their vibrant petals, but they did not turn red from blood. The red color of poppies has symbolic meanings, especially in relation to remembrance and sacrifice, particularly in wartime contexts. The association with blood is more metaphorical, stemming from their use as a symbol for fallen soldiers, rather than a biological cause for their coloration.
