Thank you so much for inviting me... if I have time, I'll stop by.

I like to repeat myself...your copy of Genthiana scraba looks wonderful. Have you cultivated this clone from wild seeds?


Thomas

Absolutely impressive... Maggi. I can't offer such a variety of flowers...but I enjoy every single flower of these breeds.

Panayoti Kelaidis of Denver Botanic Gardens is  well travelled ( to say the least!)  and a popular speaker  around the world too - so it is no surprise that he has some super photos  to share - this is   "A gentian memento from last April in the Lesser Caucasus of Georgia above Bakuriani: Gentiana angulosa above the tree line."

And here is  Panayoti with  Zdenek Zvolanek  ( wearing a bow-tie)  in the DBG  a few weeks ago.... ZZ wrote :
Panayoti Kelaidis, the Heart Ace of DBG, arranged for us a great  speaking trip around many new crevice gardens in Colorado, Utah, Wyoming and New Mexico. It was perfectly organised and we met a lot of enthusiasts. He is a great visionary and plantsman."

What two majestic pictures...Maggie.

I know Panayoti Kelaidis unfortunately only from pictures. But in every photo he makes a friendly face...He seems to be a happy being.

By chance I have just studied his article (NARGS) about the Species Townsendia for further research.

I am fortunate to have known Panayoti for a long time - we first met face to face in 199. This  plantsman carries a wealth of knowledge  and is also a  most charming and friendly person.

I envy you for the personal acquaintance... Maggi.

The same is certainly true for ZZ. I saw him at a meeting last fall...and I'm frozen in awe.

I just thought of a little play on words for ZZ... I think it's time for an increase in appreciation... We should call him "ZZ TOP" in the future. 😊

With this Gentiana, I'm not sure what kind it is. G. acaulis or G. occidentalis. The label has disappeared. Maybe someone can solve the riddle...

Thanks

Really...Vincent. Only after your advice and with some magnification I discovered the small mushroom. Very well observed.
