corn poppy, also called field poppy, or Flanders poppy (Papaver rhoeas), annual plant of the poppy family (Papaveraceae), native to Europe, North Africa, and Asia; it has been introduced into Australia, New Zealand, and North America The flowers are on stems some 25–90 cm (10–35 inches) long and measure some 7–10 cm across. They have four petals and are usually a brilliant red, sometimes with a black basal spot. In Europe the corn poppy was formerly a widespread weed in cultivated fields, with seeds lying dormant for years and sprouting when the soil was turned. During and after World War I, fields that had been disturbed by battle bloomed with corn poppies, and the flower has become a remembrance symbol of that war.
