"Late" evening! The sun sets early now and it get dark at 6PM. However, with sun from a cloudless sky and no wind at all the life is good!
Pictures across the fjord today.

Wow, what a beautiful blast of blue, the striping on 'Kingfisher' is particularly smashing!

I've got both of these too, but small and not blooming size yet.....it's so nice to see what I can look forward to next year...perhaps.

Todd, I have never managed to grow any autumn-flowering Gentians like that! They live for a year or two and then dwindle - I don't know why but keep trying. . . .

Things are awfully quiet on the Forum front: I'm not quite ready to throw in the trowel...planted a dozen plants or so and have more on the docket tomorrow. We are having a delightful sunny respite after two weeks with 8" snowfalls that panicked us a bit (as they always do)...but back to Indian summer. I am amazed at how cheerfully the crocus, some colchicums and even cyclamen have taken the snows. Here are two shots of our current champions:
Crocus medius
is magnificent right now.

Panayoti, still enjoying your pics of
Crocus medius
here there and everywhere, surely a species that I must intropduce to my garden. The storter stemmed flowers look as if they might be more weatherproof than many autumn crocus.

........ and virused too by the look of it. Most of the ones originating from Dutch stock are virused.

I've given up on C. medius as all we get here are virused ones. Still no sign of my C. speciosus..they are late but never this late!
Trond, we are dark by 5:00 pm! What time does your sun rise? Ours rises around 7 am.

It is pitch dark now as I write, the local time is 18:09. Today the sun rose 08:26 and set 16:17 but it gets dark about an hour later.
The moon rose 16.39 but I can't see it yet - it hasn't climbed the hill in east yet and it is cloudy too.

It's amazing to see gentians still in magnificent bloom so late in the season, Todd!
Stephen and Trond, when I am depressed about how short the days are here, I will have to remember that they are even shorter where you are.

And I am looking forward to the spring and even more to the long days of summer
The Banff flowering meadow isn't now, Lori?? I wonder if I ever live long enough to visit all places I want
