IRG 173 - free e-magazine: Connor Smith, a Scot now working at the Univ. of Utrecht Botanic Garden, shares some of the plants which took his eye on a January trip to Santiago, Chile that he undertook with his friend and fellow SRGC supporter, Luca Magi, from Australia. From the Botanical Garden of the University of Tübingen in Germany, Michael Mauser, gardener in the Ecological Alpine Centre brings an article on the propagation of Dionysia which is something of a speciality of the Botanic Garden.

IRG 174 for July 2024 is now online:  https://www.srgc.net/documents/irg/240726085558174%20July.pdf
Robert Barnard returns to IRG this month for another tale of his favourite hikes and areas in Northern California, this time to the Camp Creek area.
A short time ago, the Saxifraga Register, Adrian Young, completed the record keeping process for a delightful Saxifraga hybrid, being named by Gert Hoek for his friend, the plantsman, Geert Borgonje, who has recently been unwell.  The description of this saxifrage is given here. 
Finally this month we pay tribute to John M. Watson 1936- 2024 – who was a tireless contributor to the IRG and a fine friend to the Scottish Rock Garden Club.

This month in IRG 175: Wim Boens writes about a very popular garden plant and its cultivars – Trillium grandiflorum. Wim, from Belgium, is a well-known plant collector and lecturer and a great fan of Spring flowering plants like Galanthus, winter Aconites, and Crocus, which of course have a long flowering season.
Gerrit Eijkelenboom returns to write of the early Ophrys of southern France.  These are the orchids, flowering in March and April and comprises the first part of this article.   Gerrit and his wife Iep travel extensively to photograph orchids and write enthusiastically about them wherever they find them.

IRG 176 for September 2024 is now online - download here:
 https://www.srgc.net/documents/irg/240927112838IRG%20176.pdf

Dr Sajad Alipour, a Botanist & Ecologist of  Shiraz, Iran submits a report on Iranian native plants of his botanical trips this year.
Wim Boens writes this month about a Japanese plant and its cultivars which seems to create differing enthusiasms. These are Arisaemas, which some folk find rather sinister in their appearance. - some love ‘em, some hate ‘em!

Finally we have a plant portrait of Campanula raineri, which appeared first in Skalničky the journal of the Prague Rock Garden Club (KSP) from Zdeněk Zvolánek.
