    Oh, how beautiful! The colors and variety, not to mention the fact that they're still here in October. You must make them very happy! :)

    Thank you all! I kind of hope not to see any frost for a couple of months more, but I guess that's Utopia.

    Thought you might like the Gentians, Eileen. If you haven't got any, you should try and fine some. I'm sure they'll grow well for you.
