Remembrance Day, Armistice Day, Veterans Day... whatever you wanted to call it, it amused Anemone. 'Remembering' veterans certainly wasn't keeping the humans from making more of them. Like her.

Still, she couldn't help but appreciate the private irony in their choice of flower to commemorate the occasion.

She carefully twisted silk blooms of anemone coronaria into her hair as she reshelved, humming happily. She didn't have any papaver rhoeas, but these were close enough, and more appropriate, anyway. Windflowers for a living dead girl.

Around, but extremely busy! Expect major SP as my brain leaks out my ears.

I hadn't thought about that with the flowers. Interesting.

Yup, anemones and poppies are the same kingdom, division, and class of plant, and sometimes carry similar meanings! Anemone's world/culture uses the 'death of hope' symbolism for the flower, hence her amusement at the whole situation.

This has been your random fact for the day!

And a nice random fact it is! Along with that...

The Veterans of Foreign Wars use the poppy while the Disabled American Veterans use the Foget-me-not (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forget-me-not).

Another random fact for you! :D
