Meconopsis nepalensis
I hope Google picks these pix up because they have really got this plant confused. Almost every reference shows a different plant! I believe I've finally got it right as M. nepalensis with pale lemon flowers and toothed leaves with golden hairs. In the soft partial Northwest sun the hairs are quite golden and dense. In shade it is less so. I am told it is monocarpic so it will die after flowering. It is so handsome as a young plant that I don't mind starting all over again and it does seem more available than it was. It took two seasons of growing in a pot for it to flower. The flowering stem is about 3' tall, blooming in late May. |
