Today is National Poppy Day. Though most often thought of on November 11, in honor Armistice Day of the First World War, poppies were blooming in May 1915 when John McCrae wrote In Flanders Fields. His poem indelibly linked the flower to the war dead, and so it’s a fitting symbol for Memorial Day. We hope yours is peaceful. (Red Poppy, from Benjamin Barton’s British Flora Medica, 1877.)
