Super Ranunculus, Magnar. Robin, I think the plant you are asking about is Picea mariana 'Nana'.

Several photos from my rock garden in this spring, taken till today. I have tried to choose some not too common plants:

Aquilegia jonesii
Calandrinia caespitosa
Collomia debilis var. larsenii
Ptilotrichum purpureum
Rhodothamnus chamaecistus
Senecio castoreus
Synthyris laciniata
Viola delphinantha

The flower on Aquilegia jonesii is my only third flower in all my more than 30years history.
The Ptilotrichum is very small plant. It is 4 years old and about 6 cm broad and 1 cm high.
The Synthyris is also small, about 8 cm high and quite early flowering (on 7th April)

Wonderful show Zdenek !  :D

So many little gems !
The Ptilotrichum is fascinating - the Rhodothamnus looks fabulous.
The Calandrinia surely is an eyecatcher with its vivid colours !
Thanks for showing them !

Magnificent specimens in your rock garden and the Aquilegia jonesii must give you so much pleasure, Zdenek - it looks very miniature....

I love the little Viola delphinantha colouring too  :)

Great to see all these wonderful plants. Here is one that flower for the first time in my garden now: Solms-Laubachia retropilosa.

What a brilliant collection of little plants, all so strong and healthy and at home in many rock gardens. Thanks to everyone.

Fabulous plants, all!  I especially love the ranunculus, Magnar... breath-taking!

Astragalus purshii var. lectulus
Pulsatilla turczaninovii - I've already shown it, but showing it again because the colour is so gorgeous!

A lovely collection of plants, thanks for showing them Rudi - I think the  Edraianthus graminifolius white and  Helichrysum sessiloides are my favourites but Viola stojanovii is really cute too

I see this topic has been split but I have no way to find the new bit. Is there a link please? Can't find it in the Index either.

I wonder who invented the terrible two capitals. The Vienna Code and Plant Names Index explicitly present Solms-laubachia.
