Arctic poppy

Arctic poppies are one of the most northerly growing plants in the world. Covered in black hair they are hardy and tough, with some surprisingly delicate yellow or white petals. These continually turn to face the sun, tracking its progress across the sky, and attracting
to the centre of the bloom. Arctic poppies are found growing in meadows, mountains and dry river beds. They thrive among stones that both absorb the sun's heat and provide shelter for the roots. Within their range they are most common in the Nunavut region of Canada.
