What a difference a day makes…

Hear, hear but what has happened to our wet stuff so far this year? A glorious shade of blue.

Yes - not so cool and wet at the moment. Still, that's what July and August are for!

I loove Meconopsises - probably not the right plural - here in not so cool Switzerland I have found it difficult to grow them. But as there are Meconopsis growers in Australia, I refuse to give up. Have you ever had any luck with growing them from seed?
