Nightshade Poppy

Botanist Findings:

  Much was misunderstood about the Nightshade Poppy, it was thought to be a myth for quite some time. And even when it was found was believed to be not much different from other varietals of the plant. North Espen Poppy had a sweet taste to it, while Desert Poppy was quite bitter, but aside from the piquancy and pungency not much difference was identified in its many varieties.
It blooms in 4 days in Primrose (usually between the 11th-18th). The poppy was believed to have no viable cross-pollination, which, combined with the short blooming period is why they are found so rarely. When they were located they were strikingly similar to the Oak Poppy and dismissed all the same as the Oak Poppy is widely disregarded for its odorous smell.  
 

Horticultural Findings:

    It remains largely wild with only a few instances of successful domestication or repotting ever documented, and of that few, none are still known to have living specimens remaining.   It grows mostly in swamps, bogs, and wetlands during the cooler month. An early frost has been known to prevent their bloom as has extreme flooding in the summer months.  

Herbology:

  While no medicinal uses exist for this variety of poppy, it is commonly used in poisons and other mild altering coctails.
