The much awaited arrival! Adelghard Meconopsis.

Congratulations on your success. A beautiful addition. You must have lots of patience and expertise.

such a stunning plant and well done for persevering.

Congratulations on your success with them - you must be SO pleased. A delightful result.

Well done , thats a beauty .

Well done Julia ... you must be thrilled with the result!

It’s gorgeous Julia … how did you do it?! I bought seed of poppy Amazing Grey and had no luck (probably should have tried under cover instead of sowing direct). So I was comforted to see a grower at Chelsea who showed his ONE AND ONLY Amazing Grey poppy!

Thank you so very much everyone...growing plants shouldn't really be a worry but I must admit I did have concerns with these.They were also too expensive to fail!
Sheila I did think of you when they showed the grey poppy...so different...I'm sorry yours failed...I don't have any luck with seed growing.
I am thrilled with the result...Will try a few more in the Autumn.

Plugs are much more sensible Julia!

Yes,I felt it was the safest way to start such temperamental plants.

These are beautiful plants Julia and I hope you will be successful growing them. I tried several times with no luck.

I'm going to try to grow more Klahanie...this particular one has to be divided in the Autumn. We'll see,I don't want to be a 'slave' to them though.

Lovely! You’ve really done a wonderful job nurturing these little blue beauties, Julia. I do hope you see some more flowers soon.

Thanks Kate...Sadly I don't think I will this year...the brisk winds we are currently having are tossing them around a lot.

Clever girl, a gold star for you then. I`m quite envious.

Thank you Stroller 😊

It's beautiful. I've tried them unseccesfully a few times ...

Not very confident about next year Hywel. Thank you anyway.

The problem you have in the South is that blue poppies like a cool summer! They like Scotland. I know it’s really frustrating, but just think of all the plants I can’t grow because it’s too cold, our growing season is too short etc. your poppy is beautiful Julia. I hope it comes back for you. They self-seed here, but not a lot. As for the grey poppy Sheila….I had exactly the same result from a packet of seed. One flower! And it’s generally the same here with all poppies from seed…nothing.

Well done, hope your plant keeps going.

I'm sorry I missed this Julia, but very well done! Such a beautiful blue. I do hope it does well for you. Keep it cool. I grew the blue and a white one years ago. I hope you have great success with yours..

Thank you both..
It is well positioned in the shade.Did yours return another year Janey?

Only the white for the next year. They didn't come again.
