Blue Himalayan poppy

I have one from seed....not even near a bud yet.

I struggle with them too Alexandra!

Good luck to us then. Wonder if I'm going to see a flower this year.....

thats lovely ~ background just right too!

ahh yes very lovely poppy this one, i had it myself but didn't bring seed when i moved..

Alex - I fear that it may be getting too warm.......

Thank you Sticki.

SL - apparently a lot of them are sterile. M.lindholm is reliably fertile apparently. More info at this link.........

Lovely pic Meanie :o)

Thanks for the info Meanie..

Well done in growing this all mine died as much as I tried.

I'd love to say it was my own work 6d, but buying it in bud is definitely cheating!
The theory is that it will self seed!!!

Lol Meanie I bought mine in plug nothing it died you have to mimic their conditions so I read, hope it seeds for you

I also think that some plants are just plain stroppy 6d!!

Yes I agree I bought some fuchsias eruption plugs I shared some with Milky and Hywel all mine are dead Milky said hers is not doing as well as her other fuchsia so yes makes me wonder.

Oh My......thats beautiful Meanie.......

Thanks Milky!
6d - I tend to shy away from mail order for this reason......

I will know better next time won't I thanks Meanie.

Two that I recommend are Burncoose (not the cheapest, but an interesting range, good service and you always get decent plants), and for seeds go to Plants of Distinction (again, good service and an interesting range).

Thank you Meanie for the recomendations of those too shall keep a note for next year.

Meanie:

Beautiful! An excellent close up, as always! :>)

Thanks Delonix - I just hope that it all goes to plan and that it self seeds now!

Meanie:

Good luck! :>)
