My Faerie Name
Your fairy is called Columbine Goblindancer
She is a bringer of riches and wealth.
She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows.
She is only seen when the bees swarm and the crickets chirrup.
She wears lilac and purple like columbine flowers. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.

Himalayan Blue Poppy
This attractive plant has loose rosettes of light bluish green leaves and striking saucer-shaped blue flowers in summer. It is considered a challenge to grow by even the most experienced gardeners but is worth the effort. The amazing blue flower color is a traffic stopper. Best grown in partial shade in a sheltered location in cool, moist, well-drained soil. Deciduous. May be short-lived, particularly in sodden winter soils. Native to thickets in the Himalayan Mountains. Hardy to 0 degrees F. Papaveraceae
Ohhh...I discovered poppies a two summers ago and fell in love. That blue is terrific!!
Oh, yes, school coming to an end is another happy!! I am SUCH a homebody, and this time of year with sports and such the house gets a wee bit out of control, so time off is much appriciated!!
Have a great weekend!

Beautiful flower. Lovely photo!
This is incredible! I've never seen one like it. Love poppies! I may try this one.
What a gorgeous picture!!
You an expert on flowers; is it because of your hobby or are you a trained horticulturist?
Fantastic photographer, too!! You have it all going.
I asked you a question about the mares in one of my posts today.
It's such a pretty color. I saw some poppies beside the road yesterday but they were a reddish color.
Never seen a blue poppy so this is a wonderful image for me today.
Fantastic photo MB! Such a gorgeous blue.
I had one but the winters are too wet here and it died.
It really must be a traffic stopper! Wow
How absolutely beautiful! I also enjoyed browsing your recent posts. Thanks for stopping by my blog.
It must be poppy season! Mme. la Vache got these poppies and Chuck Pefley got this one!.
"Louis" will post an update at Mme. la Vache's poppy photo linking to yours.
Splendid photograph, never I did not see this poppy, only in photographs!
Him they visit honey bees?
Stunning-looking flower.

The blue looks great. I dont think I have seen a poppy that color.

I love blue flowers and this one is a show stopper. How very beautiful. I may try to find some seeds to see if this farm girl can grow them. Peace.
We can't grow them here. Not enough like the Himalayas, I'm afraid. ;-) They don't like our hot, humid summers. Plus our winters go to minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit.
In Canada, they grow well in western British Columbia and on Quebec's Gaspe Peninsula.
But I grow lots of other poppies! ;-)
Never seen such a poppy as this before.. beautiful

Again, thanks for your visits and comments over this way while we've been traveling. Much appreciated.
Congrats to your June graduate as well!
