This is the eleventh in a series of corsages/boutonnieres I am making of this year’s flowers, grown here at our Victorian Gothic black dirt farmhouse, The Blawnut House, in the Hudson Valley, in New York. I grow the flowers, photograph them, laminate them, and turn them into pins!
This is a poppy. I planted these seeds years ago along with some purple poppies and the reds keep re-seeding, while the purple just don’t like this garden.
The pin measures 3.75 inches in diameter. There is a double center that makes it slightly three-dimensional with a stainless steel lapel pin fastener. Each pin is signed, numbered, and dated. Collect them all.
Poppies are native to most of the northern hemisphere. Following trench warfare in the poppy fields of Flanders, Belgium, during World War 1, poppies, specifically the red poppy, have become a symbol of remembrance of soldiers who have died during wartime, especially in the UK and its Commonwealth realms.
