Meconopsis grandis, nicknamed the Blue Poppy, although it is only poppy-like, is a genus of flowering plants in the family Papaveraceae. It was first described by French botanist Viguier in 1814. These plants are commonly found in the Himalayas. This is one of my favourite Scottish gardens with a wonderful collection of rhododendrons, alpines, and herbaceous. A must visit if you are in Perth.

Hope is a name derived from the Middle English hope, ultimately from the Old English word hopian referring to a positive expectation or to the theological virtue of hope. It was used as a virtue name by the Puritans. Puritans also used Hope as an element in phrase names, such as Hope for, Hopeful, and Hope still. The name is also the usual English translation of the Greek name of Saint Hope, an early Christian child martyr who was tortured to death along with her sisters Faith and Charity. Hope has been among the top 1,000 names given to girls born in the United States since 1880 and has been among the top 500 since 1909.

As a man's name this surname is from the Old French " beu, bel " meaning " handsome ", which was also used as a nickname. As a female name it represents a short form of Isobel, a form of Elizabeth. Finally, it may be an Anglicized form of the Gaelic " MacGiolla Mhaoil ", " son of the servant of the devotee ". The surname dates back to the mid 12th Century. Early recordings include one Robert de la Belle in 1222 in London, England. Church recordings show the christening of Mary Bell, an infant, on August 13th 1541, at St. Peter's, Cornhill, London, and the marriage of Margarett Bell to Wylliam Traford on September 13th September 1551, at St. Mary's, Westminster, also in London.
