Sherry AK's post on the "Michigan in Spring" thread got me wondering.
How many of you have tried to grow any of the blue meconopsis by a Great Lake, and how many have succeeded? I keep thinking that for those of us who do live really close to the water, we might have cool enough summers for them. Then again, sometimes we get those real scorcher SW-wind days that might shrivel them right up.
I started some up from seed once but let them dry out before they were even big enough to plant out. I'd be willing to try them again, which begs another question--anyone ever see plants for sale locally? Ideally in the Chicago or southeast WI area?
