Diary of a weekend gardener

Blue and beautiful

Despite the late spring and heavy rain the blue Meconopsis grandis are in flower on cue at Dunham. Since my parents were up this weekend we took a trip out there to have a good look. My own four 2 year old plants have no apparent flower buds on them yet this year, but I do have 60 young seedlings from last year so perhaps next year it will all happen.

The ones at Dunham look a little paler and more electric blue than mine were last year.
The planting combin- ation with the persicaria and white geramium works perfectly.
