Background To issue: The Corn Poppy (Papaver rhoeas), best known as the Flanders Poppy, grew profusely in the trenches and on the battlefields of the Western Front. It is this flower that has become synonymous withwar-related remembrance. Yet historical accounts suggest that poppies were not present to any great extent in the fields of Flanders prior to World War I, due to the poor nature of the soil and the absence of nutrients. It is said that artillery shells and shrapnel agitated the earth and exposed seeds to the light needed to germinate.
