Post by: Lesley Cox on May 10, 2012, 12:00:57 AM: Great clumps there Roma and if we didn't know M. punicea, we would be terribly impressed. ??? If only the colour, habit and perennial-ness (?) of punicea could be transferred to a plant as vigorous and fine as this.

Post by: Peter Maguire on July 05, 2012, 10:12:07 PM: Having lost the label on these seed-raised plants which I obtained as seedlings, I'm fairly sure that they are Meconopsis Lingholm.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong. :)
Title: Re: Meconopsis 2012
Post by: tetsuo on July 06, 2012, 08:40:54 AM: As bristles of the seed pod are long,they seem to be M.Lingholm.
Peter, I agree.

My posting pictures are the hybrid between M.grandis (Lingholm?)
and M.integrifolia.
They were hand-pollinated four years ago,and flowered last year for the first time.
I wonder if the blue one is true hybrid or not.

Post by: Peter Maguire on July 06, 2012, 01:39:54 PM: Tetsuo,

My only experience of Mec. x beamishii was several years ago and the seedlings were all a pale yellow. I too would be a little uncetain about the blue one.
Title: Re: Meconopsis 2012
Post by: tetsuo on July 06, 2012, 11:18:47 PM: Peter , thanks for comment.

They are infertile and some of them are perennial in my garden.
Surely white one is creamy colour.
I post one more picture.
Title: Re: Meconopsis 2012
Post by: Peter Maguire on July 07, 2012, 10:05:40 AM: That is the colour that mine were ( I have a scan of the transparency somewhere if I can find it). I suppose that when I referred to pale yellow I was thinking of a Very pale yellow; " creamy" is a much more accurate description!
You plants are growing in a lovely setting there and seem quite at home.
