Prickly Blue-Poppy - Meconopsis horridula
Commonly known as Prickly Blue-Poppy, and Tibetan Poppy, Meconopsis horridula (Ranunculales - Papaveraceae) is an unusual bristly poppy with gorgeous, floppy, blue, tissue-paper flowers. The epithet “horrid” obviously applies to the spiny looking stems and certainly not to the striking cobalt-blue, ivory-eyed flowers.
This is an alpine species which occurs in the Himalayan region. It has been used as a traditional Tibetan medicine to “clear away heat, relieve pain, and mobilize static blood”. Currently chemical investigations on this species has led to the isolation and structural identification of 40 compounds, including several flavonoids, alkaloids and terpenoids.

…If George Lucas had stuck to his original vision, Harrison Ford never would have been cast as Han Solo. Lucas had set a rule that he didn’t want to cast any actors from his earlier film American Graffiti, and Ford was one of them. Casting consultant Fred Roos hired Ford, who had a background in carpentry, to install a door at the American Zoetrope, where the Star Wars auditions were being held, in the hopes that his mere presence would change Lucas’ mind. Apparently, this worked.
