Legendarily beautiful, tricky, and hard to get. So reads my tinder profile and so too reads the story of the fabled blue poppies. Luckily this one makes it ever so slightly easier on the latter two while retaining the first. Baileyi has sometimes been relegated to variety status under M. betonicifolia but either way you name it this Meconopsis is a bit more tolerant of less than optimal conditions, plus once it gets going this particular batch likes to form small clumps or even spread along its apostolic stolons until you are left with a veritable blue sky in amidst your bed of garden treasures. Likes acidic soils, cool summers and coldish winters. Cannot be grown anywhere it gets hot and/or humid in the summer.

The all but unseen in the U.S. variegated form of one of the supreme small ornamental grasses. Retains the string-of-pearls white flowers while transforming the blades into an unmatchable pastel rainbow that on closer inspection betrays its elegant components of green blades with a white central stripe tipped by a purplish-pink. Its rare that a grass can reach the sublime but I think its fair to say this one does.
We have not keyed this Chinese species yet but it is on the docket. This was a small tree growing in bamboo and mixed forest at good elevation. The leaves are glossy and attractive but the almost lilac-like heads of white honey-scented flowers are the thing. Small shiny black fruit. A Far Reaches Botanical Conservancy Offering
From the ruins of a once great empire only one princeling remains...
A conifer for fans of the post-apocalyptic genre, hailing from a genus that once lived from Antarctica to New Zealand to South America to the Indian Ocean now reduced to just one extant species found only in Western Tasmania. But even beyond the incredibly cool botanical history to put your friends to sleep with, the tightly scaled snaking branches that splay along the ground and translucent red cones like little strawberries make for an equally fascinating horticultural specimen.
