Clivia 'Vico Yellow' in flower today in the greenhouse.  A rather nice present from a forumist.

Wonderful plants are here to see! Luc, your tuffa mound is very impressive. Is it protected from rain? And what is the little yellow gem in the middle of the picture (Tufwand 01.06.2013)?

Gorgeous Campanulaceae, helping to make this morning's hard frost a bit more bearable. :-\

Gene  - I was walking down a logging road on Wednesday in the southern part of the province.  The road bed was very compacted heavy soil, shale and gravel, seemingly without aeration.  There the Linnnea happily.grew.  All the Linnea here start off pink but yours are a lovely clean white.

Thank you Jef, Yann and Ebbie !

Ebbie, the yellow gem is Linum elegans.
It looked quite a lot better last year but it struggled through winter.  I feared I had lost it, but it reappeared and produced 2 flowers.
Fingers crossed !

Luc - what marvellous plants, especially the Viola. After seeing all the amazing Czech gardens our Group is thinking of organising trips to other gardens on the continent, so maybe we could visit you and fellow Forumist's? We have thoughts of combining with other AGS Groups, even including members of the Ulster group that I met in Tabor, and at the moment Swedish and Czech gardens are high on the agenda.
