Meconopsis betonicifolia 'Hensol Violet'. Photographed, 25 May 2017, at Reedie Cottage Gardens, East Scotland. Absolutely gorgeous Himalayan Poppy. The flowers open a deep, rich purple, and gradually fade to a light blue. Looks great en masse and is quintessentially a cottage garden plant! #meconopsis #hensolsviolet #richpurple #lightblue #reediecottagegarden

Meconopsis baileyi 'Hensol Violet' - First flower of the season, photographed in my Secret Garden today, 24 May 2016.

Never seen one that colour! ππ

@jeatacake This is a gorgeous Meconopsis. It starts of this rich deep purple, and as the days go by, it starts to lighten to a China blue with a hint of lilac. Just a pity they don't last too long. Papaver orientale varieties last longer. However, Meconopsis Bailey 'Hensol Violet' is really worth having in the garden. Definitely recommend having one or more in the garden!!! π

It's fabulous. I have tried a few blue poppies without success, but one like this is certainly worth more effort!
