Red Poppies for Remembrance
We’re celebrating red poppies this year with the 100th Anniversary of the end of World War on November 11, 2018 when the armistice was signed. Red poppies have become the symbol of remembrance in the Commonwealth countries and in the United States for those men and women lost not only in World War I but in all wars. John Mc Crae, the Canadian poet immortalized the poppies in his World War I poem, In Flanders Field.Our popular Field of Red Poppies will have a red paper poppy attached to the seed bag through December 31, and we suggest giving this gift of remembrance to anyone you know who has lost a loved one to war who has a little space to plant their own red poppy field. And also, to give yourself and anyone else the gift of remembering the sacrifices of World War I and the terrible wars that followed. Planted in fall or early spring, the poppies will bloom in spring and early summer, the same time they are blooming in the fields of France.
