Epimedium membranaceum at sunset....
Surprisingly, but it continues to blossom.

You have to be quick to follow this thread!

Knud, if you want a piece of molinae mail me your address!

Ashley, the F m riccartoni is quite hardy here but freezes down to the soil  in harsh winters. I know however of gardens with huge shrubs of fuchsia that never freeze.
Last winter I lost several other fuchsias that had been hardy for several years :(

The gentian is also a mystery.  The only nearby gentian label is for a seed
exchange G pannonica, and it is certainly not that.  The leaves seem
too narrow for it to be septemfida, but perhaps they vary.
Leaves at three in whorls and hexamerous flowers suggest a hybrid between
Gentiana paradoxa and Gentiana septemfida.

This year Nesocodon mauritianus started with a bunch of flowers not until the end of August/beginning of September.

What beautiful bells, it awakens my greed. I guess it is not hardy in my northern climate.

I thought this 'rang a bell' (pardon the pun) and found a pic I took when Mark Smyth took us to Glasnevin Botanics in April this year - this was probably in a glasshouse, though

Thanks for kind remarks!
Yes, it's an exciting indoor plant but it causes horror for orderly people because it distributes its ruddling nectar all around.
