Saxifraga ludlowii

Jef, thank you for showing. The flowers of Sax. ludlowii are sensational, I have never seen
them before in any publication.
Looking forward to meet you in Tabor.

Ger showed us this  plant in 2009 : http://www.srgc.net/forum/index.php?topic=3195.0
Jef's photos are quite stunning- and show very well the dark hairy calyx

(I've added this to the 2009 thread)

Maggi, as long as we're saying "who is Leila Haines",  who is Gina, as in Penstemon barrettiae 'Gina'?  She must have been a knockout.  Has this plant for years and then lost it, sigh.  It no longer seems to be listed at nurseries but it's worth having.  Unfortunately, my photos are slides.

Super plant Gene - who was Lila Haines?

She was Miss Piggy's stunt double.  It's true!  Actually, I don't know who Lila Haines is/was.  And you shouldn't believe anything I say.

Gerd - what a great little plant that is (it appeals to someone like me who grows many umbellifers, and some botanists even join the two families). It reminds me that I didn't order seed from Kristl this year and must remember to do so next.

Jozef, I would never have believed a callianthemum could be ugly but I'm inclined to agree with you on this one.
