Bue poppies
I love the Himalayan blue poppies, or meconopsis to give them their correct name and this is the first of ours in bloom this season.
We bought our plants from Evelyn Stevens, founder and secretary of The Meconopsis Group. She has a large garden devoted to these plants high up in The Ochils.
Botanist Evelyn is a world authority on meconopsis and I got the impression that we were being vetted to see if we were suitable buyers for her beloved plants.
Well, I met her again at a gardening function recently and it gave me great pleasure to be able to report that our meconopsis were flourishing.
She was pleased.
