Answer 2

The Scottish poppy, also known as the Scottish remembrance poppy, typically features four petals in a deep red color, with a dark black center. It does not have any leaves featured on the stem or around the base of the flower. This flower is used as a symbol of remembrance for those who lost their lives in conflicts, especially during World War I and II. It is worn in Scotland around Remembrance Day, which is observed on November 11th every year.
