Long known as the corn poppy (Papaver rhoeas) because it flourishes as a weed in grain fields, the Flanders poppy as it is now usually called, grew profusely in the trenches and craters of the war zone. Artillery shells and shrapnel stirred up the earth and exposed the seeds to the light they needed to germinate.
Poppies are a symbol of WW I because there is a famous cemetery for soldiers who died in the war, called Flanders Field, in which poppies grow. There is also a famous poem about this.
