Post by: Tim Ingram on February 09, 2013, 02:29:52 PM: Such a well known plant that it hardly needs introduction - Crocus 'Bowles's White'. In my Plantfinder (2007) this is named C. sieberi 'Albus', which seems a travesty considering E. A. Bowles found this after 'thirty years of hopeful expectation'.

Post by: Tim Ingram on February 16, 2013, 09:17:12 AM: Very beautiful photos Zvone! We don't have snow like that here but as a benefit more and more winter flowers are appearing. Another crocus, C. laevigatus. Such a simple and beautiful flower, but very slow to increase in the garden.

Post by: Tim Ingram on February 27, 2013, 07:47:05 PM: Not a great picture - I am chastised for not tidying up the old leaves - but a great plant, and why alpines can be so exciting when they emerge in late winter. This is Lomatium columbianum, one of the few really colourful umbellifers, the flowers and leaves all expanding together even at temperatures close to freezing. The lomatiums are the largest genus of North American umbels and a fascinating group to the plant geek, This one is probably one of the most attractive, the expanding leaves are grey-silver, just like a small fennel, and like these the plant quickly goes dormant in the summer, behaving very like a bulb. I wil show another picture when it has reached its full charm.

Post by: Maggi Young on February 27, 2013, 08:20:17 PM: Before I looked properly I thought you had a photo of purple sprouting broccoli there, Tim ::)

Paige Woodward is keen on this plant too.... see here http://www.hillkeep.ca/images/Lomatium_columbianum_IMGP0039x.jpg (http://www.hillkeep.ca/images/Lomatium_columbianum_IMGP0039x.jpg) (and here for the place: http://www.hillkeep.ca/study_centre.htm (http://www.hillkeep.ca/study_centre.htm) )

And this page with photos by Paul Slichter is one I found useful when researching the plant some time ago.... http://science.halleyhosting.com/nature/basin/5petal/pars/lom/columbianum/columbia.htm (http://science.halleyhosting.com/nature/basin/5petal/pars/lom/columbianum/columbia.htm)

Post by: Tim Ingram on February 28, 2013, 08:38:04 AM: Thank you Maggi! The lomatiums were an important edible plant to native Indians in North America, but of course they taste very much better than sprouting broccoli. Seriously, those are great pictures of L. columbianum in the wild and show what a fascinating plant it is - my plants are not so compact but still look dramatic in full flower.

Tim what a striking plant I must look out for this one particularly when you see how it develops

Title: Re: Alpines - Image of the Day 2013
Post by: Maggi Young on March 21, 2013, 03:27:35 PM: Too much snow in some places in the UK, Susann..... in the countryside things are worse. Not too bad here in the city- you can see todays' photos in Ian's new Bulb Log :

Last year at this time we had warmer weather than we usually have in high summer :o ???
But then again, we have had snow in June in other years!
Title: Re: Alpines - Image of the Day 2013
Post by: Susann on March 23, 2013, 08:01:39 AM: Incredible pictures! Perhaps I was born in the wrong country. I know where Aberdeen is regarding north comparing Mariannelund. Last night we had way under -20 and the only flowers I could show you would be the ice-roses on the locker ( inside frontdoor) when I went to pick up the morningpaper this morning. But, with or without flowers, it is very beautiful with all the new, fresh and shining snow.

Ian, from now on I promise to follow the bulb log! I am sorry I am such a none computer person, but I am making progress ( = getting addicted as the rest of you)

I think your dianthus may be Dianthus erinaceus - is it very prickly?
Title: Re: Alpines - Image of the Day 2013
Post by: Palustris on June 19, 2013, 09:27:27 PM: You might well be correct. It is not as prickly as the echinus I have in the garden though and a lot lot bigger, though the flowers are smaller on this one too.

Post by: ranunculus on August 31, 2013, 08:35:20 AM: The wonderful Panayoti Kelaidis has kindly added the following comment to my posting:- Hate to be a pedant, but your Dudleya is D. farinosa. Dudleya cymosa has flatter leaves, bright orange or scarlet flowers and is montane and subalpine (mostly in the Sierra and high coastal range). And it is frost hardy. Your's is the coastal farinosa with more cylindrical leaves, chartreuse tubular flowers and tender to frost.

Title: Re: Alpines - Image of the Day 2013
Post by: ranunculus on August 31, 2013, 02:31:45 PM: Hi Anne,
Unfortunately the afternoon at beautiful Point Reyes proved the only cool, breezy and very foggy day of our entire trip. We couldn't see the ocean, the lighthouse, the seals or the dramatic scenery of the area. Five miles further inland and the sun shone brightly ... at least we saw enough to add a speedy return to our bucket list.
Title: Re: Alpines - Image of the Day 2013
Post by: astragalus on August 31, 2013, 10:45:57 PM: Too bad, Cliff. Apparently you were there at on a typical day. We visited on a day that was so windy you had to lean forward to keep from being blown over. The wind blew the fog away and we had bright sun, saw the sea lions and things like steep hillsides of California poppies plunging down to the ocean. It was a spectacular day imprinted in my memory forever.
