Opening perfectly here, Guy ... thanks for posting.  Hope your computer woes are short-lived.  Only one suggestion - switch to a Mac.

Colchicum umbrosum

Lovely to see Colchicum umbrosum, Olga. Have you seen or found it in the wild?

[Ragged Robin]

Beautiful Asters, Guy, I do love them at this time of year....never too late to post such lovelies - I do hope your computer problems are fixed as your garden is full of wonderful and interesting flowers

Flowering on Tuesday at Cape Kaliakra on the Black Sea Coast:
Linum tenuifolium
Veronica species 1
Veronica speies 2
These could be the same species, but closer examination of the leaves shows that basal and stem leaves of both plants are slightly different, and several species are listed for this area.
Vicia species (?) with Satureja coerulea
a wind dwarfed Digitalis lanata (?)
Ruta graveolens

Flowering now in the evening sunshine. Wierd combination.

Gladiolus from Silverhills seed lost label
Galanthus olgae ssp. reginae olga - obtained as, I am no expert

Yes Robbin, the Asters give such a display,see the one with the black stem the are near to 3 meter high,have to find a new location for them,post a better picture here,do not know were it came from.

simon-nice to see someplace still going strong! great shot of the vicia and satureja;  is there  much freezing by the coast?

guy--3metres! we have lots of native asters here, but 1m would be a tall one!

[Sinchets]

Cohan, we are told there is winter snow in this area, which may not last long, but the Cape is famed for its strong, and in winter cold, winds from across the Black Sea.

[Geebo]

I know Cohan,It is just unbelievable every year I see the plant growing during the summer it keep growing taller and taller<I find It just so attractive as the stems are very dark nearly black,and the flowers last very long,if You like to have some a send some later when I divide,am sure there are going to be some roots to spare,
Simon,I like the pic with the Vicia and Saturea,two plants I am not familiar with,I special like the purple Colour,
I have here a Ruta Graveolens Variegata growing,with a strange sent,Beautiful pics all.

Cheers Guy.

thanks, guy--even a little seed would be quite fine is this a species, or a hybrid/cultivar?

[Geebo]

OK Cohan,
I will keep an eye OR two on the seed,the thing is there are lots of different asters around in the garden,i suppose the easy hybridise,as I mentioned I never know where the original plant arrived in the garden here,the only thing I could think of some hybrid did his own thing.anyhow when the time comes I contact You for further direction.

Cheers,
Guy.

Not flowering in the garden, but flowering.  A Streptocarpus hybrid 'Snowflake', which I found at the market.  Amazing number of flowers and loves cooler temps.  I typically grow these in the shade garden during the Summer and bring them in in the Winter to enjoy.

Guy, your Tricyrtis seedings are very nice. Are these just adventurers in your own garden?

very nice shots of a really nice form of the plant! do the flower stalks stay together like that? or did it have a little encouragement?
