In the natural world, true blue flowering plants are rare. However, at the high elevations of the Himalayan Mountains, where the summers are cool and moist the Himalayan blue poppy flourishes. This perennial blooms in early to mid-summer and self-seeds prolifically, but seeds must be exposed to cold weather to germinate. “Blue Poppy,” is a mixed media and digital image created in Spadecaller’s Florida Studio (6/21/2021).
