because anzac soldiers died in a poppy feild
I heard it was disrespectful to wear poppies after Nov. 11
growing poppies could be a criminal offense, ask homeland security.
One doubts that it is. Had you watched the Remebrance Day Parade from the Cenotaph in London you would have seen the Queen wearing five poppies and the Duchess of Cambridge wearing two.
People began wearing poppies in the aftermath of World War I, particularly around 1920, as a symbol of remembrance for fallen soldiers. The tradition was inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields" by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, which referenced the red poppies that grew on battlefields. The Royal British Legion adopted the poppy as a symbol of remembrance, and it has since become a worldwide emblem honoring military personnel who have died in conflict.
The Queen is Queen of many independent Kingdoms (Realms/Dominions). She is not only a British Monarch but also an Australian/Canadian Monarch. She wears four poppies to honor those who have died in war. The wearing of poppies for this reason comes from the poem "In Flanders Fields," which has particular significance in Canada.
Well, honey, poppies are a big deal in World War 1 because they became a symbol of remembrance for those who died in the war. The red poppies grew in abundance on the battlefields of Flanders, where many soldiers lost their lives. So, people started wearing poppies as a way to honor and remember the fallen soldiers. Simple as that, darling.
