Question: Does anyone know the history of wearing the Red Poppy in November?

Answer: The poppy is traditionally worn by people in Canada and the United Kingdom (and possibly Australia and NZ). It was inspired by a poem called "In Flanders Fields" written by a Canadian soldier named John McCrae, after seeing his friend killed in battle: In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields.

Question: I have ordered a 'poppy red' coloured couch. Any ideas what colours I should use for contrasting cushions?

Answer: For a modern, contemporary look that's also sophisticated & elegant, choose a charcoal gray. For traditional, select a mid-tone green. And for transitional, pick a medium beige. (the shade you choose should be the same saturation of color as the sofa) Then use that color on the walls as well, & get an area rug incorporating those colors. Repeat in accessories. For contemporary or transitional use silver tones to accent, & for traditional, use bronze.

Question: are the red poppy's in a pack of poppy seeds (bought from a supermarket) the opium producing plant?

Answer: Opium poppies usually have deep red flowers but they can be pink, too. You won't find seed of this species at the supermarket, unless you mean the seed that you cook with (for example, to make poppy seed rolls) ... these are opium poppy seeds but they are irradiated to make sure they won't germinate (-- there is no opium in the seeds). Many other species of poppy have red flowers. One good example is Papaver rhoeas, which has fairly large red flowers (see link). This is one species you'll probably find in the garden seed section but there are others with red flowers.

Answer: They wear them for remembrance day to remember all the soldiers that have died during wars.

Many soldiers would attach them to letters sent home to loved ones. That's why they adopted the poppy as a symbol of remembrance !
