I lost hope it would flower for me this year - didn't put a lot of new growth, it was just sitting there. But hey - one day it decided to flower - as if to say - 'never loose a faith', lol
Gentiana sino-ornata (Showy Chinese Gentian)
It's growing in a pot, but I think it was still too wet for it this year.

Katarina - don't forget you got very hot spring and summer this year:)
Thank you Sticki - they also come in white and dark blue:)

That was question, Kasia :)
The problem is, that they didn´t grow very well in hot days. They accelerated in September.

too hot for too long for them? the same with plants here Katarina - suddenly they started to grow instead of getting ready for winter;-)

do you think it grows worse if there is rainy weather? Mine bloom just when it was rainy for some days...
