The poppy is typically worn in remembrance of those who served in the military, especially around Remembrance Day on November 11. It is customary to wear the poppy from the last week of October until Remembrance Day. Many people choose to remove the poppy after the ceremonies on November 11, but some may continue to wear it until the end of November as a further tribute. Ultimately, the decision of when to remove the poppy is a personal one.
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.
The "Poppy Lady" refers to Moina Michael, an American educator and humanitarian who is credited with promoting the use of the red poppy as a symbol of remembrance for soldiers who died in World War I. Inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields," she began selling poppies to raise funds for veterans and their families, leading to the establishment of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance in various countries. Her efforts contributed to the annual observance of Memorial Day and Remembrance Day. Michael's advocacy has made the red poppy a lasting icon of sacrifice and remembrance.
