Many plants we have put in the garden have happily flourished, but we have also experienced failures.
One of my big regrets is being unable to grow the Meconopsis betonicifolia - Himalayan blue poppy. A large proportion of the species are monocarpic and as such are notoriously difficult to maintain in cultivation. Monocarpic plants are those that flower, set seeds and die.

On the other hand Meconopsis cambrica - Welsh poppy arrived in the garden, uninvited, where it flourishes.
The Welsh poppy is of course a weed, but a welcome one. Can you imagine the Himalayan blue growing alongside the Welsh poppy - they would make the perfect marriage.
