Answer:
The National Museum of Wales in Cardiff currently has an exhibition on poppies, looking at their use in remembrance as well as their wider symbolism, ecology, and threats to their existence. The exhibition runs until 29th March 2019. I went along to find out more...
Poppies are a familiar sight at this time of year, commemorating the war dead from the UK and the rest of the Commonwealth. The tradition began in the early 1920s and is said to have been inspired by the poem ‘In Flanders Fields’, written by the WW1 Canadian soldier John McRae, who described the poppies which grew in the areas of Northern France and Southern Belgium where so much of the fighting of that war took place.
The exhibition features a central media screen surrounded by information boards covering different aspects of the poppy, as well as examples of poppy-related artefacts, maps, pictures, and lines of poetry in English and Welsh. There is also a poignant life-size model of the stages of regeneration of a battlefield, with bullet-strewn mud evolving into a poppy field. The exhibition is an excellent way to learn more about a very interesting flower.
The remembrance, or common poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is an arable plant and was one of the first plants to recolonise disturbed ground, and for this reason it was widespread in the battle-scarred landscape of the Western front. The lime and calcium added to the soil from the bones of the fallen and rubble from destroyed buildings also encouraged the species to grow there.
Other remembrance poppies are the white, or peace poppy, first worn in 1933, and the purple poppy, which is worn in commemoration of animals killed in war. In France the cornflower, another arable specialist, is worn as the flower of remembrance, known as the Bleuet de France.
