The Meaning of Red Poppies

These lovely red poppies bloomed in our backyard just in time for Memorial Day.. fitting since they are the official Memorial Day flower. For two years I wondered what they were… huge red flowers with petals as thin as paper. Now I know. They are symbols of remembrance. Makes me wonder about the people who lived here before us and if they planted these to remember someone who died in service. 

Have a good one all… spend it with the ones you love.
