The flower pin had a black center w/ red petals & a green leaf. I've seen other political figures wear it on other occasions. What does it mean?
Any links w/ more information would be appreciated.

Thanks hrh_23 for the web site. It was very informative.
I live in the United States & watched the opening of Parliament on C-Span this morning.
In the U.S. we have Veterans' Day but we do not wear red poppies.
