Shamrock poppies.

First time I saw one was about 3 years ago - it was left @ Tom Crean's grave in Annascaul. They are apparently available from the Royal British Legion's Irish branches, but I have not encountered them beyond Crean's grave & recently Varadkar's lapel .
While we are in the area https://www.irishtimes.com/opinion/poppy-must-not-be-twisted-into-symbol-of-division-1.3285941 is worth a read.

Interesting. Thanks.

This ...

"Nobody should need to explain themselves for wearing a poppy. Nobody should need to explain themselves for not wearing a poppy. Wear one, don’t wear one. Choice is the hallmark of a free society."
 
It's a pity the loyalist terrorists UVF/UDA have hijacked the poppy and politicised it.

Same happened with the Lilly, they all latch on to something to try and symbolise themselves. Not sure what ISIS use but I'll bet they have something similar.

Perhaps a wee silent thought within your head is the best remembrance?
