	Karst phenomena of Biokovo
		At the time of his travel, hiking trails at Biokovo were rare, as rare as the enthusiasts climbing with great efforts until they finally experienced a unique view from Biokovo of the seas and islands as the sole award for their efforts.
		For the local population, the Karst landscape of Biokovo is part of their everyday life so,as it often happens, they don't perceive the real value of something that is "right under their nose".
		Biokovo offers countless valuable "awards" to inquisitive lovers of nature, but on this occasion I will note only part of Karst phenomena that are being researched or have already been listed among the educative features of Biokovo Natural Park.

		The relief got its shape at the end of the Neocene period after the movements of the Earth crust caused by wrinkling and crevices movements.

	Paghat's Garden: Geranium x cantabrigiense 'St. Ola'
		If I were to hazard a difference, 'Biokovo's' white flowers age more quickly to salmon pink, while 'St Ola' remains longer a pure white, & even the stamins are colorless, unlike 'Biokovo' with pink stamens.
		It is not likely that many who already have the earlier 'Biokovo' will find any real justification for adding 'St Ola' to one's collection of hardy geraniums, or visa-versa.
		I sometimes regard 'Biokovo' the prettier of the two, other days 'St Ola' seems to be in finer form, but they are far too similar to ascribe superiority to either one.
