Flowering now in the house:
-
All looking very neat and healthy, Rudi.
Super photo of the Asarum maximum - looks like it is made from finest velvet.
-
Such neat display (pic 1).
I also love that Asarum. I had one a couple years back, I thought it was hardy enough for my closed balcony but one day I found it frozen :(
-
Thank you for the kind comments.
I had the same experience with Asarum maximum and A.splendens.
They did quite well for many years in the open garden with some
winter protection, but a winter which started quite mild and ended
with heavy frost destroyed these plants. Luckily I had some spare
specimen in the Alpine House and since this time I cultivate them
inside.
-
We have unusual warm and sunny weather which results
in opulent flowering in the house.
Townsendia condensata Alberta Form has an extremely fasciated flower
The Viola grows in the Iran beside Dionysia khatamii
-
Draba longisiliqua in full flower
-
The flowers on the big Draba have opened well in the last week, Rudi
Real spring in your alpine house !

Rudi, what a nice violet species. It might be Viola spathulata. (pachyrhiza)
Does it come via Wallendorf?

Lovely stuff Rudi, your Lewisias are at least two weeks in advance of mine.
-
Wonderful plants, all of them. It was nice to see the Townsendia condensata in bloom, it's such a different townsendia. I specially liked your Lewisia tweedyi 'rosea'. This lived in my garden for a number of years before finally perishing in an open, cold, wet winter. Yours is flowering so beautifully.
-
Super display Rudi !!!
Love the Lewisias ! The yellow one is superb !!
-
Dear friends, thank you for your positive comments, I got the Viola some years ago from Chemnitz
(and possibly via Wallendorf) but the plant is still smaller than the Viola spathulata I have.

All these plants look superb - growing so well and appearing so natural planted in your alpine house, Ebbie.
Viola spathulata is stunning.

Indeed - there is nothing left to be added!

Beautifully grown, all of them. Marvelous bloom on the phlox.
-
Just a couple of Lewisia tweedyi - first one is a yellow seedling Mike Bramley gave me some years ago - and why you should actually collect the seed.........
It is very prolific especially in sand
Final once is a Rosea that came from Hythe Alpines a while ago
