April 2012 in the Northern Hemisphere

Hans,

Mine has attempted to set seed a few times, although never matured before the plant got frost hit.  It has certainly looked like it was successfully setting seed.  Now you're just going to have to start collecting seed from you various colours and sow them, to see what other different colour forms you'll end up with.  You could end up with a miriad of possibilities!!

Franz,

    Wow!  Impressive collection of them.

Lampwick,

That Daphne in particular is glorious!!

Sometimes I pass over pictures that have been shown a few times recently, and maybe would have done that today but a group from Lampwick is always worth a good viewing. That beautiful dog takes such lovely pictures and hasn't disappointed this time either.

As for your stunning gentians Franz, they are very special, lovely photos of superb forms. The whites and paler shades are very beautiful, but so is every one.

Franz, I like all your gentians but paler shades flowers are the best

Gentiana verna alba.
 I am delighted this has stayed alive  long enough to flower for a second year.

Michael,
Super plant and pics. G.verna alba  is not an easy plant. Congratulation!
Thanks all for the nice comment

Was out of the forum for about a week so i'm still surprised to see it updated. It'll take some time to get use to the new design and options. Unfortunately I find it difficult to see many of the pictures or to enlarge them. Hope later I will know how.
Everything in the garden tries to catch up with the rest of Europe but still lags behind. Haven't found the way how to send pictures. Am I the only one to have these problems due to my computer illiteracy?

[David Nicholson]

Oleg, there are parts of the Update still being worked on including the picture posting part. It will just take a little longer to complete this work.

[olegKon]

Tanks, David. You have given me hope that I'm not that stupid. I can't wait to see the renovated forum in its full glory

John, try this:-

Go to Lesley's Profile. On the left hand side, under where her avatar would usually be, look for the hyperlink "Send PM". Click on that and the familiar PM form will come up. You won't need to type Lesley's address or name as it will be included as a hyperlink under the name block.

Thanks David, but I also want to include a few images, which I dont think is possible from here at the moment.....

John, it wasn't possible to send images by PM on the previous version.
