Cherry Blossoms

Blue Poppy

Large poppy-like, vivid blue flowers with hairy textured leaves. One of the most beautiful blue perennials. Originally from the Himalayan mountains. Best in semi-shaded spots. Avoid sun during the warmest hours in the warmer zones. Prefers humusy, well-drained soil. Avoid winter wetness and mulch in the summer to keep the base cooler. Good for naturalizing or wildflower gardens. We offer well-rooted plants in 2 1/2" pots. Zones 6-8.

Christiansons Nursery, LaConner, WA

If you live near Seattle, be sure to go  north to see The swans, and remember; coming soon are the snow geese, and daffodils, and then the tulip festival.

It is all too amazing to pass up.

This is one of the place I go when I visit LaConner, Christiansons Nursery.

I'd like to work here instead of for Corp America.

(pulls hair out)

I actually have a background in plants (among other things)

and I enjoy the earthy smell of, well, yeah, earth! lol..and the plants themselves give off many aromas.

The colors are so unbelieveable.

Be sure to stop at Snow Goose Produce, and get a huge 3.00 ice cream cone, and I recommend their wild flower honey,, umm..
