“As a river flows across the land, it nurtures all living things that it comes across. All the plants and animals benefit from the water of the river. Once it has done its work, water moves on without waiting for recognition or praise...” - Lao Tzu.

Meet the Blue poppy, national flower of Bhutan; one of the most exquisite and rare flowers in the country and found at elevations of around 3,000 to 4,000 m above sea level. Blue poppy, with its scientific name Meconopsis spp, has 13 species and falls under the family of papaveraceae. The Maconopsis gakyidiana was named after the country’s guiding development philosophy Gross National Happiness. Gakyid stands for “Happiness” and diana is the nomenclature term for the flower. Blue poppy also comes in pink, white and red colors and are found in the country.
The flower was discovered by British botanist George Sherriff in a remote part of eastern Bhutan during an expedition in the Himalayas.

Did you know?

The Bhutanese Blue Poppy is one of the rarest flowers in the world. It’s good luck if you find one. It also means you’re fortunate to be trekking in the mountains of Bhutan above 11,000 feet. And finding a Blue Poppy is believed to foreshadow a greater sense of clarity in the near future. So it’s triple luck.

Jinzo (Sculpture)

One of the arts in which the Bhutanese excel is the creation of delicate clay sculptures, occasionally set in amazing landscapes. As well as statues, jinzo includes the production of a range of ritual items, notably the moulded offerings (torma) and masks worn during tsechu, and the more prosaic activity of preparing mud walls on new buildings.
