Howdy pardners:
Thanks for holding down the fort. Just returned from a sojourn down the Rio Bravo to Albuquerque (I knew I shoulda taken that left turn...), and not a moment too soon. The four Meconopsis betonicifolia (rare Himalayan Blue Poppies) I planted this spring are beginning to bloom! You may recognize them, or a spiny Tibetan relative named (I kid you not) Meconopsis horridula, from "Batman Begins." Anyway, regular posting will begin shortly. Meanwhile, look at this poppy and try not to let its utter Blueness drive you irretrievably insane...

Glad to have you back Jim!
Your gardening skills are impeccable! It ties into your aesthetic sense.
Glad Scanners is back!
Haha, wonderful Jim! I thought they had made the flowers up for the movie... Your gardening skills really are impeccable! Kudos.
And welcome back.
Yes, but do your poppies have psychotropic effects?
JE: Only the Papaver somniferum, that I know of. The Meconopsis gets you high just from looking at it -- although alkaloids have been found in it, too: http://budurl.com/e3dq .
Welcome back, Jim.
