   Himalayan Blue Poppy

   But as it turned out, the constant bickering had an upside: it led me   
   to one of the rarest flowers on Earth.   
   Bhutan’s national flower, Meconopsis Grandis, or Himalayan blue poppy   
   as is it popularly known, is a flower so enchantingly blue that it   
   instantly commands undivided attention. Growing only above the tree   
   line in a harsh high altitude environment of 3,500m to 4500m, it blooms   
   just once during the monsoon between late May to July, after which it   
   disperses its seeds and dies.
