Lovely collection of Androsace Michael with Bulleyana as my favourite, such a strong colour. Did you grow them from seed?

Yes, all those were grown from seed,unfortunately Bulleyana is monocarpic but it sets lots of seed.

Michael, beautiful plants, everyone one of them, although Goteborg Yellow is outstanding! I see from Google images that A. lehmanniana has some "yellowish" color forms, but I wonder how one so yellow as Goteborg Yellow was found, perhaps a seedling mutation, or a wild selection? 

Are those hybrids of your own creation, or perhaps natural hybrids?  I know you did wonders with Lewisia, so I'm guessing you made the hybrids. Really beautiful.

I lost half of my population of Androsace this winter (which amounts to two plants!) Have to replenish. Now I know which one to look for! However I have no hope of beating Mr Campbell!
