It's a Remembrance Day poppy. <br />Every year, on or around the 11th of November, the Royal British Legion sell poppies, in remembance of all those who gave their lives for their country, and raising money for the care of those who live on.<br /><br />"John McCrae, May 1915<br /><br />In Flanders fields the poppies blow<br />Between the crosses, row on row,<br />That mark our place; and in the sky<br />The larks, still bravely singing, fly<br />Scarce heard amid the guns below.<br /><br />We are the Dead. Short days ago<br />We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,<br />Loved and were loved, and now we lie<br />In Flanders fields.<br /><br />Take up our quarrel with the foe:<br />To you from failing hands we throw<br />The torch; be yours to hold it high.<br />If ye break faith with us who die<br />We shall not sleep, though poppies grow<br />In Flanders fields."soubriquethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01151288534629885195noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7555664269648250473.post-20815291075224787312013-09-08T20:14:55.920-05:002013-09-08T20:14:55.920-05:00That's pretty amazing, although I suppose it i...That's pretty amazing, although I suppose it is really green carpet and not real grass.
