Prometheum sempevivoides from the central Taurus (Anatolia) in normal size. The third photo shows three copies the unusual one are tall. Strangely. I never had this with this type. Mutants? :o

Very cool little plant 8)
Not perennial I guess?
-
Old name is Sedum sempervivoides... monocarp. So I always hope for seed.
-
A quick trip around the garden to show you what is in flower today.
A single flower on our Androcymbium striata the bulbs were very kindly given to us by George Elder.
A slightly out of focus Aster alpinus var. dolomiticus it's second flush this year.
3 views of the rock garden and scree.
-
More views and a lovely Geranium spotted in JohnnieD's garden and kindly given to us. Don't we gardeners rely on the kindness and generosity of others.
-
Last batch, including our native Marsh Helleborine Epipactis palustris and also a new little Sedum which looks interesting S. corralloides.

Lovely photos of your garden, Shelagh. I think the geranium is pelargonium sidoides, which always survives the winter in my unheated greenhouse - I keep it dry. I am not sure how reliable it would be outside over the winter.
-
@shelagh
The Sedum corraloides with its great growth form and silver colors I like especially ... great.
-
Clematis columbiana var. tenuiloba from South Dakota..., unfortunately, also this year only one blossom.

This is a very attractive little Clematis, so even one blossom is great... I don't see well the position you are growing it, but I've been lucky to see it high up the mountain (Utah) and it grows in full sun exposure (which is crazy in July/August) on wind swept rocks ledges and the likes.
It is one that doesn't like to be 'pampered' ;)
-
Many thanks for the tip with regard to the lighting conditions... Gabriela. My plant stands in the shade of a tree. Therefore, maybe she does not blossom so richly. I would want my North America - area sometime sometimes reshape... then I will place these small Clematis a little sunnier.

Campanula zoysii
-
Well done Thomas. While it is wonderful to see perfect show specimens in pots, it is especially nice to see such plants as Campanula zoysii creeping about in an open garden situation, as if it were in the mountains. Love your Clematis too. :)
Sheila that is certainly a delicious Sedum. And what a wonderful summer show you have there. Heart-warming in our mid winter.

Cremanthodium rhodocephalum -First time flowering for me (container grown).

An amazing photograph, showing absolutely EVERYTHING about this lovely plant. It must be better that the plant itself! (I had thought all cremanthodiums were yellow!)
-
Wow, Steve, lovely cremanthodium. Hope there will be seed for the seed exchange!

Thank you Lesley.
I took care to ensure that the photograph doesn't show the hideous white polystyrene vaccine box it grows in! ;)
Wow, Steve, lovely cremanthodium. Hope there will be seed for the seed exchange!
Are they self-fertile Carolyn? If so I'll be out tomorrow with the paintbrush. ;)
-
Ah well, polystyrene boxes are not beautiful but they do have their uses. My best Weldenia candida lived in a large one for about 5 years, grew bigger and bigger until I had to divide it and flowered superbly each summer. It has never been QUITE so good, ever since.

Steve,
I have no idea! I have never grown that one before. Always worth trying pollination though, if you can.
-
Some pictures from this week. Summer has been peculiar here, the cold spring became cold summer, and in June it also rained quite a lot. Almost all flowers started to flower later than usually and because of the cool weather the flowering has continued for a long time, so it is good in that way. :)
Primula sieboldii usually flowers here in June, but this year these started to flower in mid June and are still flowering, picture was taken yesterday. These are plants grown from Barnhaven seeds several years ago.
Lactiflora-peonies are now in their full flower, the cranesbill is 'Orion'.
-
Near our house is a small field which has not been cultivated for some years, and it is so pretty now with Leucanthemum vulgare flowering. These flowers used to be very common, but now you can't see them very often.
-
Couple other native pretty flowers.
Galium boreale
I even found one Platanthera bifolia growing by the small road.
-
Oh my! Lots of colour all around you, Leena, in the garden and outside it!
-
Thanks Maggi, summer is such a great time (though spring is the best)! :)
-
Silene frivaldskyana is an endemic species from Macedonia, growing along the Pcinja river. It grows in a trough and seems to be hardy in The Netherlands.
-
Oh that's nice. I'm sure the seed exchange would welcome some seeds....
-
Flowering now in garden and Alpine House
Leontopodium andersonii is native to Sichuan/China
-
Another Gerd Stopp plant has put up it's first flower. Caltha appendiculata it's in a 4inch pot now. Also Sedum corralloides with it's minute flowers.
-
Buddleja utahensis has survived here for several years, but has never flowered.
-
I am catching up on reading a few of the back issues of the bulb log. As per Ian's suggestion, here are a few common species that thrive in our Sacramento, California garden. I would not be without them.
[attachimg=1]
Campanula rotundifolia blooms all summer and is not bothered by 40 C heat.
[attachimg=2]
Campanula cochleariifolia is another easy-to-grow species.
[attachimg=3]
Mimulus cardinalis (Gold form). It blooms all summer. It is also a host plant for native Lepidoptera Order (Butterflies) insects.
[attachimg=4]
Mimulus primuliodes var. primuloides will bloom off and on all summer into the autumn. This one is a favorite.
[attachimg=5]
The first of the Symphyotrichum spathulatum var. spathulatum are starting to bloom. With deadheading they will bloom for months. They are also a great nectar source for Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera.
-

Mimulus moschatus is finishing for the season. A month earlier it was full of flowers.
[attachimg=2]
I grow Silene lacianata ssp. californica all over the garden. They too will bloom on and off all summer. Common - but so easy and a nice long blooming season. :)
-
Photographed today at Woodlands Garden in Fotherby the finest Codonopsis lanceolata I've ever seen, the flowers were huge.
-
More from Woodlands, Codonopsis sp. unknown. Foliage & flowers. If anyone can help with I/D please.
-
Here are some flowers which are pollinated mainly by hummingbirds (which are lacking here unfortunately but nevertheless setting seeds)
1.+2. Petunia exserta
3.+4. Ipomoea quamoclit
5. Bomarea edulis

Pseudofumaria lutea flowering, and in the sunnier part of the garden one of my favourite cranesbill, G.pratense 'Plenum Violaceum'.
-
Pulsatilla taraoi -Though out of season this is the first time I have flowered this species.

-
A strongly hairy one ! :D Nice ;)
-
And I thought that Steve's Cremanthodium photograph would never be beat! This one is beyond incredulous!
-------------------------------------
I had an old hypertufa trough break, so I had to extract plants. The nice thing about alpine soils is that you don't have to wash it off the roots for a pic!
Townsendia rothrockii and Erigeron compositus Red Desert
