To honor Veterans of America’s 250 years on November 7, the Wright Scoop spotlights poppies. Why? The American Legion on September 27, 1920 adopted the red poppy as its official flower to memorialize fallen soldiers.
The poppy is a herbaceous flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, famous for its delicate, crepe-paper-like petals and distinctive seed pods.
Initally, to honor Veterans of the year 250 celebration, Wright recommended heritage plants, dog rose and feverfew as Plants of CARE.
The dog rose (Rosa canina), a vigorous thorny deciduous shrub native to Europe, Asia, and North Africa, is known for its vitamin C-rich red rose hips in autumn.
Feverfew (Tanacetum parthenium) a daisy-like flowering plant in the Asteraceae family, is known for its use medicinally, primarily for migraine headaches. As a follow up, Wright recommended Sweetbay magnolia.
Sweetbay magnolia (Magnolia virginiana) is utilized in traditional and herbal medicine for its anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and tonic properties. Historically used to treat fevers, respiratory issues, and digestive sluggishness, its bark and extracts are rich in active compounds like magnolol and honokiol, which help relieve stress and promote muscle relaxation.
Plants of CARE, a Plant Recognition Program –
During year 2025, Wright’s plants of CARE program spoghtlighted Eastern redbud Cercis canadensis, Native azalea Rhododendron periclymenoides (Michx.) Shinner and Basswood tree also known as linden. To close out year 2025, Wright recommended Camellia. For 2026, she chose to partner with America’s 250 years of freedom celebration.
Wright’s advocacy challenges all to reduce their carbon footprint as well as feed their families pesticide-free produce. While many plants are proven to enable landscape gardens, a plant of CARE is spotlighted for its ability to inspire people to CARE—have a perspective of conservation, advocacy, recovery and eco-efficiency.
