About the Corn Poppy Seed Pack
Corn Poppy | Papaver rhoeas | Ecologically grown | Annual | Open Pollinated | Heirloom
Symbol of Remembrance Day and this red poppy is immortalized in the wartime poem “In Flanders Fields”. Seeds are used extensively for cooking purposes.
In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead.
Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie, in Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow in Flanders fields.
