Twilight cast seems obsessed.. with red poppies?

Came across this Q&A video from Newcon, sent my way via Jennifer (aka Boots). And noticed a certain red poppy on Jackson's hat.








 

Looks an awful lot (ok exactly like) the odd red poppy Chris Weitz was sporting that clashed so much with his red pants in London


 

See more London pics btw  at BreakingDawnFR



So clue a sister in-- have I missed something in the Twilight world while I've come down with Swine flu, or is there something more to this red poppy thing?

update: My British loving friends Jen and Joanna  have updated me that Red Poppies are a typical British Remembrance Day Item-- still unsure why J was wearing one a few days early. And not while in England. Odd coincidence?

    Remembrance Day. It's a tradition in the UK.

    I still say Weitz has an apple and J just had a fantastic hat on with a poppy on it.

    They are both wearing poppies. Remembrance Day (Veteran's Day in the US) is also observed with red poppies in Canada. The poppies are worn for several days leading up to Remembrance Day. For more information see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remembrance_Day

    Remembrance Day is celebrated in every commonwealth country.
    It is celebrated on the 11th day of the 11th month every year. And a minutes silence is given at 11am.
    I live in Australia and we have a special assembly every year.The poppy is a symbol as it is flower from the southern part of france where allied soldiers were fighting in ww1.

    So I think it's settled
    A. Weitz and J are both cooler than and smarter than me (that was a given)
    B. Both are cool enough to sport the red poppy in remembrance

    In Flanders fields the poppies blow
    Between the crosses, row on row,
    That mark our place; and in the sky
    The larks, still bravely singing, fly
    Scarce heard amid the guns below.

    We are the Dead. Short days ago
    We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
    Loved and were loved, and now we lie
    In Flanders fields.

    Take up our quarrel with the foe:
    To you from failing hands we throw
    The torch; be yours to hold it high.
    If ye break faith with us who die
    We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
    In Flanders fields.

    -John McCrae, May 1915
