Anchorage, AK (Zone 4a) | September 2006 | neutral
Papaver alaskanum is found in the Aleutian chain, Central Alaska and scattered in Southcentral Alaska. Habitat: Loose gravel, sandy, well...Read More drained, but not dry areas.

I have speculated, the isolated populations are only subspecies, not the numerous species, currently recognised internationally.
