Some other lingering alpines...Corydalis lutea, Dracocephalum wallichii and Gentiana veitchiorum.

Isn't it great to have such lovely 'lingerers' ?  Had to be carfeul there not to be writing lingerie  :o :-[

It is so damp and yucky here that such little gems of colours are much appreciated. Even if we have to search amongst the fallen leaves to find them!

Kris - the Teucrium musimonum comes from the Atlas Mountains. I also grow several forms of polium like Lesley mentions with wonderful woolly foliage varying from white to golden-yellow - super plants! I've only seen the Pyrethrum a few times on the showbench and always coveted it, but most plants I now grow outside. So until I make an alpine bed in the greenhouse....

Thank you Tim . I put the Teucriums on my wishlist .......
