WHITE POPPIES…
The White Poppies are not created to insult those who have created red poppies as wreaths in memory of their lost loved ones during war.
Instead it is to emphasise that war should be avoided so that there will be no more wasted lives.
The White Poppies are important flowers that remind people about the beauty of peace - while the Red Poppies remind people of the cost of war.
The Co-operative Women’s Guild was the first one to sell the artificial White Poppies in 1933.
The artificial form of the poppy flower were sold by groups of women who have lost fathers, husbands, brothers and even children during the war and desire that no further bloodshed prevail.
Since then, the White Poppies were popular during Remembrance Day especially for the “No More War Movement”.
Iceland Poppies. Three white Poppies, so dainty, so feminine, so sheer and fragile.
Papaver nudicaule , the Iceland poppy, is a boreal flowering plant.
Native to sub-polar regions of Europe, Asia and North America, and the mountains of Central Asia (but not in Iceland).
Have a lovely day, M, (*_*)
