Plants in the Alpine House
« on: February 01, 2008, 08:08:06 PM »
Today in the Alpine House:
Dionysia 'Zdenek Zvolanek' MK 9801/14,a very beautiful Hybrid, the colour is still more violet as
shown in this photo made by my simple camera.
Dionysia curviflora, easy to cultivate.
Greetings

It would be great if we could have some of the growers of say, Dionysias and of the classic Alpines sharing their experiences with us some more though, wouldn't it? I'm thinking of the kinds of plants that probably need alpine-house culture and can pose a real challenge to grow ....think how good it would be for newbies to have some practical advice on those plants.  It seems to me that those folks are the ones who are least likely to share their secrets... it's a pity

Beautiful Rudi
At last, these are the plants the alpine gardeners were waiting for so long.
Let's have more of them.
In Holland we say  If one sheep is over the bridge, etc.

Dear friends,here are some more plants:
Dionysia F2 Hybrid MK98289
Dionysia iranica
Dionysia zagrica
Draba darwasica,1 year after sowing,seed collected in Pamir Mts. by V. Holubec,
After a few days of absence I found this Draba longisiliqua X mollissima in a very
disturbed shape. After removing the topdressing,this nice animal was located.
A Happy Easter to all forumists from cold Southern Germany!

Lovely, John. Have you just cold and grey weather down there or are you getting any snow? The forecasts/reports I've seen  seem contradictory  ???

Yes, Rudi, and a fine selection to do just that, but I have to feel sorry for the poor Saxifraga outside with his snow hat!
Primula is actually  P.  'AIRE Mist'  8)

Named from the River Aire in Yorkshire, where they don't have mist because the air is a fresh as a mountain spring! ;D

You grow some very nice plants Rudi.
