Flowers and Foliage July 2008

Thanks Karl, they are wonderful! I can hardly wait to go to the Ortler two weeks later!

[Hans A.]

Kristl - I am always surprised which plants you grow in Ontario - your garden has to be really huge - Thanks for the wonderful photos.

Also thanks to Karl for all the fantastic photos of the austrian alps - perfect as always -
Think Traunsteinera globosa could be mislabeled? It looks like Anacamptis pyramidalis.

Hans thanks for the correction.

I can almost smell the fresh air.  Great shots

[Kristl Walek]

Karl....again, bravo!!!

Hans....there used to be almost 8 acres of gardens, but at least half of those have been allowed to revert to nature, because the gardener can no longer care for the plants. I still struggle to maintain the rest, but am only partially winning the battle in the woodland gardens, where the sun does not reach, and the weeds can't thrive.

Another great mountaintrip, Karl, thank you!
 
Kristl, your garter friend is very handsome in his new suit and seems to enjoy his new work as a photographic model, too

Have I had another 'senior moment'  but I was sure Luit had recently posted a pic of Calandrinia grandiflorea? I've done a search but can'r locate it, can anyone 'remind' me where it is pleas? I have some seedlings in the greenhouse that are about to come into flower and would like to compare them.

I'm afraid you have David. 
(But you're not the only one, if this gives you some comfort)

[David Nicholson]

Thank you Luit, it also looks as if I was having one when I typed the post above!
