"They were wearing red poppies for Canada's Remembrance Day (akin to our Veterans Day), when fallen warriors are honored. Poppies are nice but fragile, so these boutonnieres are often paper, plastic, or even velvet. And wearing a Papaver somniferum in your lapel might get you busted for opium. Carnations are great durable boutonnieres, and they look good with black tie. They are traditionally worn on Mother's Day: red for living moms, white for moms passed on. In countries where socialism is not yet considered satanic, red carnations may also be worn on May Day. I prefer the miniature carnation, stripped of leaves and poked through the buttonhole, not pinned on. Some suits have a thread behind the lapel to hold a flower; if yours doesn't, a tailor can provide one."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
