As a proud Canadian of 60+ I can still recite In Flanders Fields. We learned it in school and it holds special significance.

Of course, the poppies that contain opium are not the instantly recognisable red poppies worn by war veterans. The opium poppy is a very different flower, more commonly white or pink.

Player #35917190, They don’t teach that poem in the U.S., so it naturally leads that most U.S. teens wouldn’t know how to start the poem.

From the seeds comes opium, that is why people sleep 😴

The kind of poppy shown in the photo is not the plant from which opium is extracted.

ProudCanadian, Something, very sadly, I bet 99% of teens in North America would have no clue how to start that poem.
My grandfather was John McRae, and not born till 1916, and I was always proud, of the similar name relation, and our Scottish ancestry.
