Meconopsis baileyi - Blooming Blue Beauty
I posted this on the perennial forum, and thought I also hit this one - but it did not work. Here it is for PNW gardeners.
After years of trying to get one to bloom, this is the first success in any of our gardens. We bought the plant from Far Reaches Farm about 6 weeks ago. It opened today. Here is some info from the tag.
"One of the fabled Blue Poppies whose sky blue flowers in late spring hold people in thrall. This was known for years as the species betonicifolia but was reclassified in 2009. This perennial species is one of the easiest to grow, A good fertile moist soil that drains in bright to dappled to part shade is perfect while avoiding hot sun and dry."

We are leaving the blossoms on the plant and hoping for seeds. All of the buds seem to be opening and we might get lucky.
