Super show Franz! As many are not the easiest plants for keeping outside in the garden.
Phenomenal! (couldn't find another word and hope it's English too)

What a super collection, all looking just perfect. Yes Luit "Phenomenal" is an English word too, and is the right word here. :)

Magnificent!

They make my single plant look small.   This is  Androsace villosa 2nd generation seed ex Pyrenees, self sown in a raised bed.

Fabulous plants Franz ! (have you ever posted anything else ? ???)

Thank you all together for the kind comments on my pictures.
Only And. cylindrica x hirtella gets a cover in winter. A larger piece glass.
I cultivate Androsaces over 40 years. The propagation with seeds is not difficult.
