Reply Here poppies make a brief appearance on November 11 and they aren’t available everywhere, unlike Canada where they seem to be available in many places from late October, and are proudly worn for weeks before November 11.

Thanks! I was happy to donate for the honor of making my own poppy. You are sooo clever! I always get bothered as I buy a poppy each year but ALWAYS lose it:) This way I can keep it and bring it out but still contribute to the boxes and still REMEMBER.

So to help you remember, here’s a little free pattern for a poppy. Once the war was over, the lime became reabsorbed and the poppies disappeared. Few poppies grew in Flanders, France, before the war broke out rubble from bombardments enriched the soil with lime, and then the fields exploded with the blood-red flowers.
