The Flowers of the Legion and its Floral Split
The American Legion designates the daisy as its official flower while the American Legion Auxiliary uses the poppy as its memorial flower. Early on the Legion favored the poppy, but at the Kansas City convention adopted the daisy as the official flower. The Auxiliary promotes artificial poppies made by disabled veterans in hospitals, yielding funds like Massachusetts with over $49,000 raised to aid sick and needy World War veterans. The Legion encourages American children to cultivate flowers to honor the Legion's daisy.
