Doug snapped this photo of a mixed-up clump of a Gentiana angustifolia hybrid, flowering in the crevice garden in mid-January. We asked why was it blooming in mid-January? The lack of an intelligible answer was similar to what you’d get trying to interview former Patriot’s coach Bill Bellicheck. This alpine/sub-alpine native of the Alps isn’t supposed to grow here, but after just over a year in the ground, it seems to be quite happy.
Aren’t plants wonderful! They can always surprise you!
I love the true blue of gentians!
