This annual is often used to remember soldiers who were lost in battle. Possibly one of the world's most popular wildflowers, this vivid red beauty does evoke remembrance. This annual is very easy to grow and self-sows readily. Carl Linnaeus first described the classic red poppy in 1753 in his landmark publication Species Plantarum. In spite of rumors to the contrary, this particular poppy does not contain opium, but rather a mild sedative. This explains the poppy's association with sleep in ancient mythology and legend. During World War I, this wildflower's abundant growth in the meadows of Europe inspired the well-known poem "In Flanders Fields" by John McCrae; as a result, the red blossoms become a timeless symbol of remembrance and fallen soldiers. The genus name "Papaver" comes from the Latin word for "milk," referring to the white sap in the stem, while the species name "rhoeas" means "red."
