I could not agree more I also enjoy seeing Crocus vallicola and Colchicum speciosum in habitat - both are just  coming to flowering our garden.

Beautiful views and other interesting plants almost takes to the mountains.

Dima, thank you very much for 'taking' us to Caucasus. You have caught some fantastic views with your camera, not to mention the lovely crocus. Right now I am sitting here drooling over the C. scharojanii pics, wishing I was there.....
