I have previously sought information about this interesting meconopsis grown from SRGC seed. A plant in my garden is now flowering with four blooms in a crosswise arrangement making a sheet of bloom. These are the second flowers after a single initial bloom and there are many other buds down the stem. The colour is distinctive from other forms of baileyi as is the foliage which I can always pick out in a frame full of baileyi plants. The coss is thought highly unlikely although James Cobb's book mentions a past claim for a grandis x latifolia hybrid.

This is the reverse of the inflorescence
