Lovely photos Diane ... looking forward to more.

Your white Gymnadenia looks right ... have seen a small colony in Val Gardena (Italy) this July.

Good to see the Loiseleuria with those fine seed pods, Diane.... handsome, aren't they? Never seen 'em so plump.

Thanks for the rhodos, by the way! I must say my rhodo fixation has been satisfied very well by the  posts from these year's assorted summer trips to the mountains by you folks!  Not to mention the big Rhododendron arboreum ssp campbellii in Otto's  snowy Dandenong garden!

Off for an early night, to dream of rhodo covered hilsides and drifts of gymnadenia conopsea, scenting the air!

Diane, are you "back to school" yet, or is it just Scottish schools?

My little neighbour starts tomorrow at primary.... as does Jean Wyllie's grandaughter, Lottie...... :D
Happy days, eh? :D

not such an early night! but enough for now.  No school yet, English schools typically go back around the first Monday in September, so a good while yet, to continue all those jobs (still around 400 cyclamen still to repot and plenty of bulbs not yet done, and new Access frame to glaze and fill with a ton of sand  ::)  )

Just as well restart later for you, then  if those are all to be repotted ! We are not putting out a list this year so some bulbs are not yet repotted but we are catching up on tree pruning  :P
Thank goodness for the chance to make these virtual mountain visits here in the Forum........does us good after all that chopping and shredding... thanks!

Diane,

Loved the gentians.

Wish Maggi would stop talking about back to school - it comes soon  enough!
