Ernebjerg SBBE 2013 China

[johnw]

Jens Birck just sent me this link to a superb collection of photos of the Ernebjerg SBBE 2013 expedition to China - Flowers and Mountains.  A vast array of plants and there are 772 photos and I am glued to the screen.

Problem is this link starts at photo 502 and I cannot seem to get back to photo #1.  If someone can get a link to #1 perhaps you could pm Maggi and she can correct the link below.

A stunning range of photos of this expedition.

You  can select one, click on it and then use your back button to return to the thumbnail gallery or work your way through it at will -  some great pix!

Stunning is an understatement!  Maggi, you must be enjoying the focus on small rhodies, the area seems rich with tantalizing small rhododendron species.  I have bookmarked the link, in my "armchair botanizing" folder 

[Maggi Young]

Yes Mark, I am really enjoying the number of  dwarf species - wonderful little plants. Truth is, though, I love them all - and the landscape views  in Ernebjerg's gallery are  marvelous too -  and the elegance of the old pine trees is fascinating- like artwork!

Maggi - I am intrigued with the wonderful little lepidote in photos 285 & 291.  Thoughts?  I'll consult JN too.

Head still spinning from that chamaeunum - that species gets me every time.  We got a marvellous one fom Cullen at RBGE way back.

Only lust, John.
More terrific foliage and how big is the flower in comparison?   My ignorance of the plants in the wild is a big drawback for ID - but a special thrill when seeing such a display of plants in habitat.

Just refueling  with a hot mocha-chocolate drink to keep myself calm

It is especially heartening to see that R. haematodes looks as bad in the wild as in the garden!  Only the possessed grow it to perfection..............

Fabulous pink Primula I have just spotted, what a blissful site to while away a LOT of time.
