Harlow Carr

[David Nicholson]

Smashing pictures Mick, I enjoyed them.

[rob krejzl]

Great word, Rob, I had no idea you had American connections

Someone mentioned Betjeman elsewhere - I'm afraid I went all High Church.

[Lesley Cox]

It is, but they might have placed it more sympathetically (eg behind a very high hedge!).

Or at the bottom of the lake.

your camera shows the yellow of N. Cedric Morris very well. The first of mine is now over but not helped by being on show at the AGS Dublin Group discussion weekend

[Maggi Young]

i just wish Narcissus 'Cedric Morris' was able to get enough light up here to keep it so cute and short.... we love it, it lasts for MONTHS in flower but it gets very tall in our conditions.

[Anthony Darby]

My 'Cedric Morris' is still in tight bud in the rockery.

[Luc Gilgemyn]

I'd like to try "Cedric Morris" but have never found it (perhaps not looked hard enough) - can somebody point me out who has it on his list ? 
Thank you

[Maggi Young]

Luc, remind me next year and I'll have one for you.
Ian usually has one or two to spare, MacPlants certainly list it, not sure if Susan does at Pitcairn or not?

[Lesley Cox]

My `Cedric Morris' came from Beth Chatto's nursery but way back in 1993.

As compensation for missing Cleveland show we paid another visit to Harlow Carr on Sunday. A bit of snow still lying around but mostly gone with just a few snow flurries during the day.
Primula marginata emerging from under the snow.
Saxifrage pot.
The rest of the pictures are from inside the Alpine houses, of which are apparently going to be replaced this year with a new one.
Just one snowdrop for the 'white fever' crowd. I think there was some discussion on the forum about Galanthus 'straffan' a few weeks ago.
Iris 'clairette' (sorry that one was from outside as well)
Ipheion uniflorum 'Jessie'
Iris reticulata 'Natasha'
one for Maggi Rhododendron valaspis group

[Mick McLoughlin]

A couple of bulbs now
Tulipa 'ancilla'
Fritillaria olivieri
Narcissus rupicola subsp waterii
Puschkinia scilloides var. libanotica
Next Adonis amurensis 'Fukujakai' which caught my eye, its on my wish list now.
Hepatica x media 'Ballardii'

[Mick McLoughlin]

Next batch I'll start off with a few for Cliff for when he's back.
Ranunculus ficaria 'Tortoiseshell'
Ranunculus ficaria var. auranticus
Ranunculus ficaria 'Collarette'
plus a close up. Actually purchased one of these today, the power of suggestion.
Morisia monanthos 'Fred Hemingway'
Townsendia 'parryi'

[Mick McLoughlin]

Last few now.
Soldanella carpatica
A few Primula to tempt David 'back to his homeland'
Primula allionii 'apple blossom'
Primula marginata 'El Bolton'
Primula marginata hybrid
To finish a couple of Saxifrage

[Lvandelft]

Must have been a nice day for you Mick.
Looking alpines under glass and not outside!
Beautiful pictures. Thanks a lot.
