Papaver alboroseum

This one is for all my Risk enjoyers, for all those times your parents bemoaned the 3 hour timesink into an epic board game, because this little poppy hails from that all-important strategic chokepoint of geopolitics roleplaying—Kamchatka. Possessed of all the delicacy required in war-time negotiation with paper thin soft-pink flowers and lacily divided foliage, its as difficult to acquire as its home peninsula and can be as challenging to keep due to its Siberian origins. Wants near perfect drainage in a rock or pumice-laden mix and to be kept from strong heat and humidity.
