very nice, but..."poppies" seems to be a more popular spelling

I love the comment from scleroplex. It seems like everything is made in China nowadays including plastic grocery bags in the US. Glad that something as sacrosanct as the poppy is still made locally!

I remember visiting Westminster Abbey on Memorial Day 50 years ago with my parents, and seeing all the little wooden crosses and poppies lined up.
So beautiful and so sobering...

“They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.”

Living as I do in the USA now, it is still surprising to me that the poppy symbol is not associated with Veteran's Day here (also today) as it is in Europe.
The poppy is such a beautiful and poignant symbol to us Europeans.

The kids entered a "Poppy Poster" contest every year when I taught art.
In 2000, a sixth grader WON the National contest with her poppy
poster! She had drawn a national cemetery, each tombstone grounded
on a field of over 1000 hand-drawn poppies, instead of the usual grass.
Her colors were beautiful. (Forgot her words...) Note: She also had included Jewish star markers & every tombstone had a real name.
