Remembrance.
Remembrance Day (Poppy Day) in Commonwealth countries is November 11. In New Zealand, France, Belgium, Serbia, and the US, it is called Veterans Day. Remembrance Sunday is the nearest Sunday to Poppy Day.
Typical poppy etiquette is to remove your poppy after November 11th. The reason being, for those who attend a local Remembrance Day ceremony, the tradition is to lay your poppy on the cenotaph after the ceremony. If you continue to wear your poppy after November 11th, it shows that you did not attend a ceremony or lay your poppy in respect, thus can be seen as a sign of disrespect.
In England Wales, and Northern Ireland remembrance day poppies are mostly paper representatives of the flat Earl Haig attributed design, a flat two petal poppy with a leaf made in Richmond Surrey. (The Car Poppy sold by the Royal British Legion has no leaf). In Scotland remembrance day poppies have four petals and no design has a leaf, they are made by poppyscotland. Countries around the world have other designs. The only significance of the leaf, or no leaf poppy is that it may give a clue to the country where the poppy was, or was not, manufactured. There are no rules governing how, or where to wear a poppy, nor the angle of the leaf if present.
