You see the poppy a lot in the summer period in the wild grass along the side of the road or in the meadows. The flowers may look delicate, but they are real go-geters. The poppy, also known as poppy, is a symbol of comfort, but also of the commemoration of the dead. The poppy owes this symbolism to the battlefields in northern France that turned red from the poppies after the First World War.
