Young plants. |
Planted out in June 2013 |
This is in October, the silvery sheen is caused by water droplets and the rosette if beginning to flatten out for the Winter. |
Mid-May 2014 and the leaves are lifting up and opening out to uncover the flower spike. |
A week later and the spike is well on the way. |
End of May and the first flowers are showing. |
Close up of the head of the spike showing the wonderful hairy leaves. |
Taken tonight, being a Meconopsis it flowers from top to bottom, maybe if all the flowers came out at once it would be more attractive but to me it is beautiful and gives a real sense of achievement. |
