These are stunning, Gene … many thanks for posting.

Fantastic display, Gene. The alpine birch is actually a willow. It is difficult to say what species it is based on the picture. There must be more knowledgeable people in the forum.

Looks like Salix yezo-alpina.

Rhododendron 'Wren'

A lovely little fellow: Wulfenia x schwarzii. Evergreen, hardy and pretty blue flowers. If it increased a little more readily it would be an excellent plant for the foreground of shady beds.
