Rising from ground level like a great candelabra, this wonderful Meconospis takes several years to reach flowering. The flowers can be red, pink or deep blue. It is a short-lived perennial though often self-seeds if happy so my fingers are firmly crossed! The foliage is deeply cut and hairy. H 2m (6ft). Like most Meconopsis it likes moisture but I think even it was totally fed-up with the amount it was getting around the time I took these shots!
Many thanks to all who took time to look in, comment/vote on "Wandering Stars" and a special "Thank You" to andylea, Growmore and ChristineD for their most encouraging UAs.

Lovely image Ann, fabulous colour and excellent detail.
Hugh
Both good but V2 has the edge Ann fine detail and colours with good background seperation
Graham
Well worth waiting for, Ann, such a lovely deep red, and hairy foliage. I favour V1 because the petals remind me of a silk skirt on a Victorian lady. Lovely detail and composition in both, enhanced by the water droplets.
Is this beauty from the poppy family
Pretty imptessive...and lucky you to have it !!!
V1 wins it for me with the lovely shapes and composition, and those wonderful droplets on the hairs. Nicely done, Ann.
Dave
Two beautiful shots. I just love that hairy foliage.
very interesting information, being not learned at all as flowers go I thought it was an ornamental poppy!
2m you say, very impressive.
the 'knot' you took so well reminds me of these magic silk scarves that unfold to a big scarf but can be stuffed into a tiny bag.
Simply beautiful Ann, I can't choose between these, they are both so good
