Poppies are considered a symbol of sleep and peace, and the red poppy has become synonymous with Veteran's Day in the US and Remembrance Day in the UK. The red poppy is also a favorite theme for clothing designers, fiber artists, and potters. The California poppy is a brilliant yellow to orange flower that blooms across the state in spring and summer.
