One final posting from Peter Korn's garden, including a lovely shrub/subshrub labelled Sieversia pentapetala flore plena, sorry it's not a very good picture. I've googled this and there is very little about S. pentapetala and nothing about this one in particular except perhaps something in Japanese. Where is Kimihiko when you need him.

Also whilst I was waiting for JohnnyD to pay for his suitcase load I spotted the place where ferns like to grow.

 Celmisia bellidioides
  Pleione limprichtii
  Campanula alpina 
186 This is where I like to grow
 Heuchera abramsii
 183 Euphorbia
 Primula palmata
 181 Cactus in scree
 Sax. cochlearis
 A crevice bed

In any case, wonderful images and thanks for posting them

[Lesley Cox]

FYI Shelagh, 7 hectares would be close to 18 acres. More than 14 anyway and less than 20 I think.

Fabulous places these, especially Peter's. Thanks a bunch and a warm welcome to Johnny too.

[Kristl Walek]

Thank you for these....
By the way, Trillium erectum on first page of thread, is not...for sure....

[Diane Clement]

Hi and welcome to John!
Thanks to you both for all the super pix.  Peter Korn's garden is indeed amazing.
John, Lagopsis marubiastrum in your reply #28 is not that plant.  The label in front of the plant is the correct one, Campanula alpina. 
Shelagh, in reference to your reply #31, re Sieversia pentapetala (did you forget to post the picture of it?)  It used to be called Geum pentapetalum which may give you rather more hits in Google, including a reference to the flore pleno version in AGS bulletin vol 64 p73. 

 

Where is Kimihiko when you need him. 

As to the whereabouts of Kimihiko - who knows??     But I'm surprised you didn't bump into him at Gothenburg as it's one of his favourite haunts...   

[Hjalmar]

I just want to thank you for taking the time to post these beautiful pictures. I try to visit the Gothenburg Botanical Garden every two weeks or so - still, there is so much to see that each time it's like coming to a whole new place. (As for Peter Korn's garden, it really is a new place each time I visit.) I hope there is more to come after the visit from Perth this weekend.

Shelagh and John I have have thoroughly enjoyed this thread - what a fantastic trip. Perhaps you should have smuggled the G&T's in

Many thanks for sharing

[shelagh]

Hi Diane, thanks for pointing out my error of omission. Typical of me head in the clouds feet in the .....

I do hope you will all feel free to suggest names for my queries, every little bit of help is welcome.

Now for Sieversia pentapetala flore plena.

[shelagh]

OK we've left Gothenburg and now it's off to Copenhagen. We had never heard any views regarding the Botanic Garden there. The guidebook showed an enormous Palm House so we thought we'd give it a quick look and carry on sightseeing. We were so impressed we spent several hours there and went back the next day. But I get ahead of myself. The rock gardens are not as spectacular or dramatic as Gothenburg but the range of plants, accessibility and labelling were terrific.  Hope you agree.

The first picture shows what was growing all along the motorway down the coast of Sweden, and the Tulip picture includes the invasive weed that the staff were weeding out down on their knees by hand.

Shelagh, chatting with Jean Wyllie today, we reckoned that your Schizocoden intercedens ( as image 052 )in Post 16 on page two of this thread is in fact a Shortia soldanelloides..... Schizocodon intercedens  being white.

[Lesley Cox]

Perhaps you should have smuggled the G&T's in

Did you not get some duty free? One should ALWAYS be prepared when travelling to another country.

[Lvandelft]

Shelagh and John I have enjoyed your excellent pictures very much.
So many interesting plants! Must have been a supertrip!

[Joakim B]

Lesley We in Europe now need to see Magnar in Noeway EDIT NORWAY to get some duty free. G&T in Norway are VEEEEEERRRRYYYY expensive.

Kind regards
Joakim
