I thought a picture of a Meconopsis poppy would be appropriate. This was taken at Inverewe gardens on the west coast of Scotland. The large healthy beds of them in partial shade, show they love this mild wet climate. We have tried growing them several times in Dorset and only managed to get a couple of flowers. This involved building an underground watering supply to keep the roots wet yet they need quite dry soil above, a little too demanding for our soil and drier condition; maybe I'll try again!!
