Gentiana 2016
« on: May 07, 2016, 09:17:01 PM »
Getting the ball rolling (appropriately enough)... G. verna. These look like it might be their last year, fortunately I have some seedlings in the pipeline. Maybe one day they will self seed... ???

It seems no many contributions to this thread so a couple of summer gentians.
Gentiana septemfida var. lagodechiana


I found contradictory images on the web about G. cachemirica; this one is true (at least one of its forms). I'll take a picture with an open flower later. Not in great shape but doing well considering in the last 2 years it was transplanted, divided and grown in a pot for a while!

Three gentians flowering with me now.
Gentiana hexaphylla
Gentiana 'Black Boy'  grown from seed many years ago.  Name seems odd.  I wonder if it is a corruption of black bud?

Roma, do all three of those need acid soil please?

Haven't a clue, David.  I think my soil is fairly acid.  Will have to look it up.

I love that very delicately coloured G. hexaphylla Roma. I think only gentians have this palest of pale blues occasionally. Your 'Black Boy' looks very like what I recently bought as septemfida Dwarf Form.

Roma, you are growing so many beautiful gentians.  Thanks for showing the pictures.  Whatever you are doing must be what they need and want.  Do the spring gentians do this well for you also?

Very nice. Mine is flowering as well but not as good a clump as that one. I like the combination with the Raoulia.

many thanks ... that's Raoulia tenuicaulis. It grows very well with me.

Today I got seeds of Gentiana divisa. Also a beautiful species.
