Cricket? I hear them every night.

Viva Italia! Through to the quarters--even after the debacle with the Netherlands...

 ??? ??? ???
My Gothenburg thread "about plants" has turned into something completely different....  ;D ;D

Luit,
As long as they play well, I support "Oranje"... ;D  after all we're good neighbours aren't we ?  ;D
Viewing yesterday's match, your "reserves" aren't bad either... 8)

Lesley and Ian
Don't know much about cricket or rugby though, but apparantly this is also a tricky matter  ::)  ;D


I hope to post some more pix tonight (before football  ;)   )

Like that is it? Fair enough. :) Hope the headlines you woke up to this morning turn out to be a storm in a teacup. :'(

OK, before football demands it's rights once again, here's some more from the Rock Garden.

End of April is early season up North in Gothenburg, so there wasn't much flowering yet.

Here's first some general views :


1) General view with pond
2) from the top of the rock garden
3) Rock garden with waterfall
4) Waterfall closer
5) Two happy explorers after discovering the Gothenburg Falls
6) The ladies had a good time too
7) Another view in the rock garden
8 Aubretia gracilis in a very nice spot
9) Draba dedeana
10) nice rockformation


More later

Luc, you are much better than the B. referee this evening.
You're showing only good things.
I hope there are still more pictures on your card ??

David,
My "wants" list has turned into a book !  ???

Luit,
I'm finished with the rock garden, as I wrote it was a bit early for the Rock Garden, but we especially wanted to see some bulbs so we had to make a choice. Only the shaded areas left to go now, but they were very impressive !!!

By the way, I thought the ref wasn't that bad - you let Mr Frank Snoeckx influence you  :P

Thanks for the "head up" re this topic.  WONDERFUL pictures!!!  Those irises, that Daphne!!  :o  So many fantastic things.  Your pics also confirm that I simply MUST find and grow Glaucidium palmatum!!  ::)

Really lovely pics.  Thanks for posting them so very much. (and of course the PM to tell me this topic was here)

As the Erythronium season is now well over, maybe this little flashback will be welcomed by some :

1) Erythronium albiflorum
2) E. americanum  - A wonderful stand - as we asked how they got them to flower so
    profusely (mine rarely do...) Gerben's answer was : manure ! lots and lots of   
    manure !  There were hundreds of flowers !
3) Erythronium dens canis "Purple King" - sorry, not the best of pictures
4) and 5) Erythronium hendersonii
6) E. oregonum x revolutum
7) E. revolutum
8) E. revolutum f. albiflorum
9) E. tuolumnense
10) E. "White beauty"

Luc, these are wonderful pictures. Thanks for posting them and extending the season yet again. Did Gerben say what KIND of manure? Cow? sheep? horse? reindeer?

Hi Lesley,
He didn't give any further details, actually he used another word, he was talking about "sh.t".... "lots and lots of sh.t"...
