You see the poppy a lot in the wild grass by the roadside or in the meadows in summer. The flowers may look delicate, but they are real go-getters.
The poppy also called 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 were coloured red with poppies after the First World War.
