Poppies represent either sleep or death. In some Greek societies they were given as an offering to the dead and they are used on tombstones to symbolise eternal sleep. The white scarlet poppy gives a promise of resurrection after death. This flower is also used as a symbol for the state of California.
In modern times, poppies were associated with Flanders fields as an emblem of those who died in World War One. Poppies signify commemoration and remembrance for those lost in the war. They have long been used as a symbol of both sleep and death.
