Oh God, I suppose it was the summer solstice here on Wed/Thursday. All down hill to winter then.

Perhaps it needs company. Cedric Morris will flower for up to eight weeks. Must remember to divide it. It has not multiplied since last year

[Maren]

Is that flowering for eight weeks in the garden? I must have it.

Yes Maren a very tough fellow indeed. Even last year it was frozen and suffered no lasting damage

It flowers so long and so well because it is sterile, in spite of being a form (?yes) of N. minor.

Arnold, that is beautiful. Where was the picture taken, outside?

[ArnoldT]

Maren:
Taken in the greenhouse just as the sun started to light  the plants.
When the sun hits the petals at an early morning angle it show the crystalline effect.

[Maren]

Thank you, absolutely delightful.
