The Blue-Himalayan poppy
The Himalayan poppy is considered to be one of the most beautiful blue flowers ever. It was a herb that grew in the Alpine meadows in the Himalayas and when it flowers in the summer it stands on very slender stalks, which may be about 15 cms long. They are also found in the freezing parts of Canada. The plant can live for many years but in certain conditions, for example when the fertilizers are more, it dies after flowering just once. It is ‘as blue as the bonnie blue flag.’
