Flower meanings
Poppy: remembrance and consolation
The poppy holds two meanings at once: remembrance for those we have lost, and restful sleep or consolation. Given gently, it says "I am still carrying you with me".
What a poppy looks like
Four thin crumpled petals around a dark seed head, like tissue paper that has just been unfolded. The fragility is the point: it is the one bloom here that looks temporary.
When people send poppys
Remembrance, condolences, and the anniversary of a loss. Handled gently it also works for someone who needs rest rather than cheering up.
