The red poppy - the symbol of remembrance day, a flower that sprung from the bloody trenches of war. The artillery shells & shrapnel agitated the earth just enough to expose the poppy seeds to the warmth & light needed for them to germinate & flourish. Fields of them bloomed across Europe & in the spring of 1915 a valley of them greeted the ANZAC's as they landed on the shores of Gallopoli.
