Just wondered, does anybody actually buy poppies? I bought one on Wednesday for 11/11. Answer below/vote in poll.

The red means blood of the men who died and the black means death of the men I think.

Its actually because they were the wild flowers that were the first plants to grow in the churned-up soil of soldiers' graves in Belgium and northern France. Little else could grow in the blasted soil that became rich in lime from the rubble.
