My Cypripedium formosanum with more than 100 flowers.
How do you keep the the slugs and snails from your Cypripedium? I thought about buying Cypripedium reginae and formosanum last year but the thought of snails eating them kept me from it.

This isn't a problem here. Neither Cypripedium reginae still Cypripedium formosanum are particularly preferred by slugs and snails. Some slug pellets are enough.

Blooming now.

All the genistas and cytisus are coming into bloom. Everything is very late this year and a few plants got frosted last night when we went down to 29F last night.
-
Back to wearing my fleece again but I do enjoy this time of year when my favourite plant is here.
Angie :)

Beautiful Trilliums, Angie.
Here are two Daphnes.
Daphne 'Pink Star'. A hybrid between D. x burkwoodii ‘Sommerset’ and D. cneorum ‘Eximea’.
[attach=1] [attach=2]
And something I have from the first Czech conference, 6 years ago.
Daphne cneorum 'Variegata' (Jiri Papousek) + Daphne cneorum (Jiri Papousek).
[attach=3] [attach=4]
-
Jef, how well these Daphne grow for you. I wish they would be as happy here in our garden.
Your photos of the plant from Jiri at the first Czech conference will be a great encouragement to those who have gone home with such plants from the 2nd Conference - we will look forward to the photos of those plants in six years' time!
I still have the scent from the Czech daphnes strong in my memory. :)
-
A little carnivorous plant, Pinguicula corsica.
Pinguicula are wonderful if you happen to get a white fly outbreak. I once used four plants to clear a greenhouse.
-
Finally it seems spring has arrived here up north. Here are some Hepaticas from the garden yesterday (I only grow forms and hybrids of H. nobilis nobilis and H. transilvanica)
1 A multi petaled form of Hep. nobils collected in the forrest behind my house
2 One of my pink form of Hep. nobilis grown from seed (Hepatica nobilis 'Best Pink')
3 One of my favorite Hepatica is a plant given to my by my friend Severin Schlyter the last time I visited him before he past away. He had no name for it but it is a cross between H. nobilis and H. transilvanica. For my self I have named it Hepatica 'Schlyter's Heritage'

Jeffersonia dubia and the 'alba' along with Fritillara nigra....//Jonny
-
Forgot 2 pics. 8)
-
Jeffersonia dubia is a real beauty! How long does it stay in flower? I have Jeffersonia diphylla and this year the flowers lasted 4 days .... there are much better plants for the shade garden.
-
The flowers of Jeffersonia diphylla don't last long, true, but the foliage is wonderful. A hard rain can make the flowers of Jeffersonia dubia rather ephemeral also.
-
Jeffersonia diphylla, looking very nice after a gentle rain.

Prunus glandulosa sinensis
-anyone grow this? with me, at best, 2ft high and not very hardy
-
Gentiana verna in the garden to day - this violet form is rather tricky to get true to color on photo, but I think this is as close as I can get it (but still better in real)

Geir, that's a vivid colour.
A few Gesneriads.
Ramberlea (x) 'Inchgarth'. Kirsten and Lars, is this the plant you mentioned in Tabor and on your wish list?

Giles your Prunus is lovely, i lost mine last winter, it needs a very well drained soil and few cold winds.
I planted it in a heavy soil.
-
So many beautiful images of marvelous plants!
Rimmer, forest pictures are very interesting. Thank you very much.
Jef, do you grow your Gesneriads outside or in a glasshouse?
It's very interesting this year my garden is synchronous with Europe. The same plants are in bloom here now.
Iris (sorry, forgotten name)

Olga, most (probably all) Chinese Gesneriads are not hardy.
Ramberlea (is a hybrid between Ramonda and Haberlea) and Jankaemonda (Jankaea x Ramonda) are possible in the open garden. But I don’t take the risk ;).

One of my friends grows Corallodiscus lanuginosus and some other Gesneriads in open garden 500 km south Moscow. But it's a great risk I agree. :(
The same to Daphne calcicola and most of Calceolaria. Sometimes they survive but their life is very short.
Thank you for the possibility to admire them.

Hi Jef,
Would you please tell me what is Gesneriaceae 'CY G - 60' ? If here was there another reference anywhere in this forum I didn't catch this.
Gerd

I have small plants of Daphne calcicola and Erinacea anthyllis flowering on the sand bed, but those plants of Jozef's are magnificent. This is the first year that the Erinacea has produced more than one or two flowers; I have high hopes it might look like Jozef's plant in the next year or two. I think the Daphne might take a little longer! Forms of Daphne x hendersonii seem especially successful on sand and the bed is coming to life this spring.
-
A few flowers from my garden today
Poul
Podophyllum hexandrum
Orchys purpurea
Corydalis pachycentra is spreading fast with stolons
-
And Nothoscordum bivalve (or Ornithogalum bivalve)
-
A couple of tuberous geraniums from Janis.

Thalictrum ichangense

Penstemon
Penstemon davidsonii possibly var. menziesii

I'm glad you like the glandulosa, I've got the white one too (it was a late frost which finished the last ones off).
Also a nice Asplenium scolopendrium .. Bolton's Nobile
-
Much to admire! Can't decide which one gets my vote today!
Here is Paris japonica from my garden. It is the first time it flowers. It has taken 3 cold winters without problems. Cuckoo flower in the background.
-
Tim. your sand bed looks marvelous. For me, Erinacea anthyllis seemed to take forever to establish. It was here quite a few years before it started flowering and each year now there are more flowers I really liked your Daphne x hendersonii 'Balckthorn'. That's not one of the ones available in the U.S., even from the daphne specialists. Our pre-Nottingham tour visited Robin White's garden, a real highlight for me, and people were buying wonderful plants. The only downside to the whole conference for me was the inability to buy any plants because there was no phyto inspection available. I still think of the daphnes I had to pass up, not to mention the wonderful plants for sale at the conference.

I was really thinking of you and the others left bereft at Nottingham, Anne, when we saw the exceptional lengths Jiri and Vojtech went to at the Czech conference to enable the easy export of plants - it was even better than Edinburgh in 2001!! They had thought of EVERYTHING!!
-

Olga, I tried Corallodiscus several times in the garden, but I lost my plants always during the first winter. They must be hardy because they grow in the wild more or less at the same altitude as Daphne calcicola (3200 – 3500 meters). Probably I didn’t give them the right conditions.
Hi Jef,
Would you please tell me what is Gesneriaceae 'CY G - 60' ? If here was there another reference anywhere in this forum I didn't catch this.
Gerd
Gerd, I got this plant from Ray Drew in 2005. I never tried to find out the true name. Maybe this is known in the meantime. I will send an e-mail to Ray.
Tim, I believe I will visit your nursery in the near future again ;).

Kirsten, I think you made an understatement. What an incredible display of oxalis flowers! Do you have a nursery? There are so many plants. Thanks for the links to the website with such marvelous photographs, especially Ranunculus parnassifolius.
Maggi, yet another reason to mourn missing the Conference. I've been enjoying the pictures. Hope there will be more posted of the gardens.

Klaus-Dieter, how do you grow your Nomocharis?
-
Josef, I think you are right. It is not Edraianthus serpyllifolius. Does anybody know what it is? I will post better photos later.
-
The flower seems like a Wahlenbergia - but I'm not sure what the species would be with that foliage :-\

One of my favourites.
Anemone narcissiflora.

I think it's a species of Cyananthus.
I do not think it is a cyananthus, Ebbie. No fat, hairy calyx, for a start.

Daphne alpina

-
Is your roscoea always this early? Mine are not even showing their noses yet.
I don`t know if the Roscoeas are hardy here in Germany. I overwinter the pots frost free. At the end of April I sink the pots in the open garden. At this moment there is now sign of life in the pots. Four weeks later R.cautleyoides is always the fist in flower and for example in the pot with R. alpina there is still no sign of life.
What soil do you offer to your C. oreadum? I potted mine in a tuf/sand mix but the plant looks sad.
The soil is a 90% mix of lava 1-2 mm, lime grit, broken expanded clay, perlite and a bit sand. The rest is a mix of loam and peat based flower soil. My experience is, to much sand is to wet.
But so many other soils will work too. So many growers so many soils. :) ;) :)
Klaus-Dieter, how do you grow your Nomocharis?
I grow the Nomocharis in a plastic pot, so I can overwinter the pot frost free. Beat based well drained acid soil. Full shaded, north facing, only a little bit morning sun.

That must be it. How did we survive before the internet?
Klaus-Dieter and Jozef, I live in a mild, cool climate, and grow Nomocharis in the open ground, in a raised bed of sandy loam soil, mulched with bark, in full sun. pH is roughly 6.0. I feed lightly with garden fertilizer two times in Spring. They must not dry out while they are growing. They do not mind wet soil in Winter. But the growing method can be very different in a different climate.
-
How did we survive before the internet?
Well enough of course - but for many of us the world was a much lonelier place.
-
I could survive without internet, but that would mean I had to read more books! - and miss a lot of friends!
From the garden today - two very different plants with different requirements!
Corydalis buschii preferring the woodland and Ranunculus parnassifolius preferring the roof.
-
Ranunculus parnassifolius
-
The ranunculus is absolutely beautiful.
Right now it's the start of dianthus time in the garden. Picture is of lower sand bed.
-
In the Czech Republic recently most of the dianthus were FULL of buds - I expect they are coming into flower now too...... 8) :)
Your sand bed is a pretty picture, Anne.
-
A very nice Dianthus bed, astragalus. Here in Denmark some of the Dianthus are also flowering now.
Here are some other flowering now in my garden.
Linum boissieri
Silene bolanthoides
Oxalis enneaphylla with "red" leaves

Kirsten, your garden never cease to amaze! I have looked at your website and the plant are stunning, but also th set up and the greenhouse.
I had not seen the Silene bolanthoides before! Would not mind to have a plant myself ....

Brilliant Web Site, very informative. I covet that greenhouse!

Not strictly a dianthus bed but they have seeded themselves there and are happy.

A few pics from the garden today.
1 Draba mollissima - not the most floriferous but a good cushion in the rock garden. This was planted as a rooted cutting in a small crevice 10 years ago.
2 Daphne juliae - one of the few daphnes that was not harmed during this tough winter.
3 Corydalis hemidicentra - nothing much to see even after 5 years, what a patience killing plant to grow from seed. But at least they do well from year to year so maybe one day.......... 8)

Now flowering:
Calceolaria pinifolia
Campanula thessala, the leaves in the foreground belong to
another Campanula
Weldenia candida, the plants seem to enjoy our incredible wet weather,
we suffer by the second wettest month of May since1881!

Hi Rudi,
Campanula thessala is beautiful .... mmmm .... it looks like the next addition to the collection .... :-) .... this morning here is winter, rather than autumn, campanulas are well behind yours.
