Very nice! Is that very early for you? My
Andosace carnea
'Alba' is in bud but it will be at least a couple weeks to go.
I do have this little androsace in bloom, which is supposed to be
A. carnea ssp. brigantiaca
... but the flowers are so puny, I wonder if is it really that? I've seen some forms with relatively large flowers, and also sometimes with shorter stems. (I didn't get a photo this evening that shows the plant clearly, sorry.)

Yes Lori, this is very early for us. It is currently snowing on the poor thing. Androsace Millstream also has a couple of blooms open but I did not get a chance to take a picture before the weather changed for the worse.

Well, it took less than a couple of weeks, after all. Here's
Androsace carnea
'Alba', about 3 weeks earlier than last year (a late spring), and with very short stems this year.

Sweet Lori! Mine has very long stems this year but I have another just coming into bud...I hope it has short stems like yours.

Hmm, it's not new but perhaps I should update
Androsace carnea
'Alba' with a photo that looks a bit more characteristic of it (longer stems, etc.)?

I love the Androsaces: the chamaejasme section has been blooming for weeks. My current faves are
A. minor and A. jacquemontii
