Worth a second look

Gardens should be approached on our knees. So we don't miss things like this:

Flower unfolding from its bud

Comes in blue and lilac, with pin-stripes

I've forgotten what plant this was; it got transplanted by mistake with a batch of primulas. Once the flowers are completely open, I may remember.

UPDATE: It's a Himalayan Blue Poppy, Meconopsis baileyi.

I'm having to moderate all comments because Blogger seems to have a problem notifying me. Sorry about that. I will review them several times daily, though, until this issue is fixed.

Also, I have word verification on, because I found out that not only do I get spam without it, but it gets passed on to anyone commenting in that thread. Not cool!
