Iceland poppy

The Iceland poppy (Papaver nudicaule) is a species of poppy native to Arctic regions of North America and Eurasia. It is often cultivated for its showy, single flowers, which can be white, orange, red, or bicolored.12

Poppies, in general, belong to the poppy family, Papaveraceae, and most species are found in the Northern Hemisphere. These plants typically have lobed leaves and milky sap. Their flowers usually have four to six petals and numerous stamens surrounding the ovary, which develops into a seed capsule. While some poppy species, like the opium poppy (Papaver somniferum), are known for producing medicinal substances, many others, including the Iceland poppy, are grown primarily as ornamental garden plants.2
