Meconopsis betonicifolia

I am very proud to have succesfully grown and bloom this beautiful Himalayan blue poppy. These are notorious for their love of cool and moist air and hatred of heat. They also like slightly acidic soils with good fertilizer. And of course, they can't dry out.

 

Check out the seedlings 3 years ago. The flowers smell like lotuses.
