Wonderful Carsten; thank you for sharing this with us.
Great ideas to show the process of raising from seed and magnifying glasses for appreciation of flower detail 8)

Wonderful Carsten, our idea of heaven. Thanks for taking so many pics. How many of the 3,600 Euro ones did you buy? :)

The only € 3.600,- plant was not sold, which comes as little surprise  ;)
But I could not withstand Hepatica falconeri and a yellow Galanthus nivalis 'Schwefelfee'. All in all it did not burden the budget too much.
