Poppy Symbolism

The flower symbolism associated with poppies is beauty, magic, consolation, fertility and eternal life. The Egyptians included poppies at funerals and in burial tombs. The Greeks used poppies in the shrines of Demeter, goddess of fertility, and Diana, goddess of the hunt. Poppies denote sleep, rest and repose. In modern times, poppies have been associated with Flanders fields as an emblem of those who died in World War I.

The Poppy

                              A red poppy means pleasure 

The poppy has a very interesting history and is something that has been around for many years. The poppy flower generally is used as a symbol for people that had fallen during World War I and today it is adopted by the Royal British Legion as a symbol.  The poppy actually is a flower that has a lot of history as opium is extracted from it.  You will see that for a floral meaning, the poppy can symbolize oblivion, but it can also symbolize imagination.
