FANTASTIC! Can't wait to see more from this fabulous garden. I seem to recall that it's the northern-most botanical garden....

Magnar,
It's been a while since I used the word, but I'm flabbergasted !  ;D
Stunning pictures of plants that seem to enjoy themselves thoroughly !  That Gentiana Verna (like so many other plants) is out of this world !!!  ;D
I hope you have many more pix to show !
Thanks a lot

Your teasing is fun, Anthony, though I suspect that the implication that Mrs Aspakar,the lovely Toril, seen standing beside the crevice garden is thus a giantess, might go down less well! ;)

That statue in the second to last picture to me looks much more recent than stone age. :D Lovely to see R. insignis looking brilliant so far from home.

The carvings are in a cliff close to a friend's home. They are really stone age, but have recently been painted to show better.
