Title: Tübingen Botanic Garden
Post by: ruweiss on March 20, 2015, 08:07:54 PM: Last Tuesday we visited Tübingen to catch a glimpse of spring. Galanthus, Leucojum, Hepatica,
Primula and other "Early Birds" gave a nice diplay. Symplocarpus foetidus started to flower, but
the highlight for us were the Dionysias and the Vireya Rhododendrons under glass.
This Primula juliae origins from the classic location Lagodechi in Georgia/Caucasus.
Thanks to Michael Mauser and Bernd Junginger for the friendly guidance.

They were recently featured on a German TV gardening programme, shame that never seems to happen here. Michael, Brigitte and Alexandra deserve a huge amount of praise for starting their Dionysia house project.

Michael, Paul: Any chance of a link to the film from the TV programme online?
