Gentiana verna

Beautifyl.My verna was taken over by some weed.Looked the same when it was small and i only realised it when the weed suddenly started growing like mad :-(
I will buy it again I think.

Well - at least I know 'exactly' where this is, with the pebbles round it. What a shame you lost it! :-(

stunning colour.

They're even brighter than my camera can cope with!

I'll make sure i mark them well next time i get them,probably next year.
To lovely to give up after the first time.

The pebbles really help!

Pebbles are good idea.I've got all my gentianas in one planter now,so will be easier to keep an eye on them.

I tried a larger flowered plant - but the birds peck it as soon as a flower opens. No point in growing it at all! :-(((
