The plant I think of as having 'true blue' flowers is the fabled 'blue poppy' (meconopsis). I saw magnificent plantings of it in Iceland 2 years ago (pic #1). Unfortunately, my climate reminds no one of Iceland. But, undaunted, I have tried a hybrid called meconopsis x sheldonii which actually survived here (pic #2). People may question how 'true blue' my attempt turned out, but I was thrilled regardless. |
