Edraianthus pumilio alba has flourished with the first one once today. The plant is a chance seedling at a shady place.

That is a VERY nice little Potentilla Tony. Why do you grow just a few alpines? Has the bug not bitten you yet?

Caltha palustris v. barthei
Paeonia mairei
Paeonia obovata
Polygonatum sp. from Hailuogou, Sichuan, 3600m
...and yet another headache-inducing Nujiang Smilacina.

Lesley the expression 'been there done it' fits I think. I grew alpines for years but my first love is growing bulbs and they suit my conditions best. I can always look at and enjoy other peoples who grow them better than me.
One that probably fits both groups
