A thumbs up on all EXCEPT the Geuze.  I still have a headache from 1983 - the taste, the smell and the effects.... I tried to cleanse myself with two Trappist ;D

I more like Latvian chocolate and beer, no comments about crocuses...  :D ;D

I wouldn't dream of challenging Latvian Crocuses Janis  :-X, but I'll take any challenge on chocolates and beer !  ;D ;D

At this time of year I prefer Crocus flowers over any chocolates! (which I think the Swiss is best anyway :D
Thank you all for posting - all so very wonderful!

 :o :o  Our belgian chocolates cannot be beaten, Gabriela.  And let me tell you something.... half of Swiss chocolates are made from Belgian chocolate and I can know, I've sent hundreds of trucks of it down there in my professional live  ;D

Great Pictures, I like crewii and alexandri most that I haven't till now. It will be boring for you, when mine are in flower in probably more than one month.

That's reassuring to know.

I can do it the other way around and show them from last spring to do it simultaneously.

Luc - you should then start asking the swiss people some questions  >:(
Seriously, I eat A LOT of belgian chocolate during my two scholarships in Belgium (a long time ago) and it was super good. But everything I bought outside Belgium since, in Europe and Canada especially!, it is not as good as the swiss one.
They must take revenge somehow  ::) for your beautiful Crocus flowers, not to mention the rhododendrons :)
