This morning we woke up to find this blue Himalayan poppy in bloom.
It is about two years old and has looked sickly much of the time, so Phil and I were really surprised when it suddenly started growing this spring.
A month or so ago, just when it was looking robust for the first time, a heavy construction board squashed it for more than a day before I discovered the disaster. I was sure I'd finally killed it.
But even with several leaves permanently folded akimbo like bad origami, it not only continued to grow but soon had several flower buds.
This is the first to bloom.
