Gorgeous Meconopsis!

Wow that’s great! Something the rest of us can only dream of.

Beautiful!

Even tho I've never seen one, I knew immediately what it was. Aren't you lucky.

Very pretty.

Nice! Where is your garden?

I live in Newfoundland

I bought seed once, the most heat resistant type, I forget which. The seeds sprouted easily, a few months later the little plants melted away just as easily. Enjoy yours, they are so beautiful.

Thanks for the pic. I tried...once...a long time ago.

@gdinieontario: They like cool and moist environment, preferably in partial shade. It is probably what they are getting in Freda's garden.

I know :-(. Moist and shady I can do, cool not. But I had to try ;-).

I tried seed as well but although they sprouted easily they eventually died off. I bought these at Canadian Tire, believe it or not. The greenhouse that grew those is only a couple hrs drive away and sometimes grow plants that is not available anywhere else.

I bought two of those, my sister bought one and a friend bought one. This is the only one surviving. The other plants died within a couple of years. This one is probablly between 10 to 15 yrs old. It has been moved three times and is doing well where it is now. It gets sun but also shaded a bit but this year we haven't had much hot weather and it has done great. It has too be moved because I am redoing my beds and I am conflicted because I don't want to lose it. What to do and where to move it!

Most poppies hate being moved... You cannot leave it where it is and work around it? It is such a special plant!
