Ariana, you’re right, it is not official symbol. But it is common opinion and all the info we used have been found from different sources in the Internet. May be it is time for Belgians to think about adopting the poppy?

Could I ask from where you have gotten this information, because the poppy does not appear anywhere on any official crest, flag or symbol of the Belgian State. When you ask in Belgium about the poppy the reply will be that it’s a symbol of WWI. And that’s all. It is not the national flower of Belgium for the simple reason Belgium has no national flower. (It doesn’t even appear on the Belgian symbols page of the Federal Government and in fact almost none of the sites that claim that the Poppy is the Belgian national flower is actually Belgian)
