    Thank you Bluewolf and Glenda.

    The Meconopsis are from the Himalayas, so I guess they'd do fine in your zone. They grow them up in Tromsø, which is north of the Arctic circle, so they're tough plants.

    Blue is my favorite Droopy! I love all your Blues...especially the first Iris and the dark Iris. And your Gentiana acaulis is such a striking color. Thanks for sharing :)

    I was stunned to see how much you still have flowering up there, Droopy. I'm down to just a handful of fading blooms.
    I did notice in one of your pics that you also have quite a few other things blooming as well!...Oh, that just makes me go all green with envy!
    You'll have to show us more of those other bloomers.
    I can't get over those "Splish-Splash" geraniums. Mine were gone weeks ago--and yours still are loaded with buds.

    BTW--which Meconopsis is the one that you featured? It's a beauty.

    The irises are to die for Droopy, everything is beautiful, but my favorite is the Meconopsis, I just love that flower.
