The Common Red Poppy (Papaver rhoeas) is an annual herbaceous flowering plant with vibrant red petals. It is also known as the common poppy, corn poppy, corn rose, field poppy, and Flanders poppy. The plant is not a perennial but rather an annual or biennial, germinating anew each year from the seeds of the previous year's plants. It is typically found in fields and along roadsides, and its thin papery petals close up in stormy weather, wind, and at night. The red poppy is often used as a symbol of remembrance and hope for a peaceful future, particularly in relation to the Armed Forces community. The plant tends to grow on disturbed soil and is often found growing amongst corn in fields.
