I am really enjoying reading through the latest Rock Garden Quarterly. So many great plants and gardens. What a wonder to grow Eritrichium nanum in the garden for ten years!! The borages are a favourite family of mine (but so are quite a few others!) but I have never seen Cynoglossom magellense; it looks quite a plant. David Sellars 'Tufa Cliff' is especially appealing because a project like this has been on my mind for a long time. Many thanks.

Once again, I am still waiting to receive mine - odd that it should get to the UK from a mailing in the US before it gets to Alberta, but who knows how these things work?  Huh?  
It sounds like another great issue!

If it's any consolation Lori, I have received my copy yet either.

I received mine today, and I can see I'll be having a go at it as bedtime reading tonight.
It is a real treat!

The RGQ arrived yesterday in Central Victoria, Australia!
Looks like a cracker issue especially Stephanie's article on their new crevice garden!

I finally got my Rock Garden Quarterly, a truely inspiring edition!  I finally realized why mine was so late, my membership expired a couple months back, a mailed renewal notice was buried in a messy pile of bills, papers, notes, and correspondance that always get the better of me.  Thanks to Bobby Ward's reminder email messages, with instructions of paying/renewing online through the NARGS.ORG website, I easily renewed my membership.  But I thank whomever decided to send me my latest Rock Garden Quarterly in spite of my late and overdue renewal.

The winter issue of the Quarterly is now in the post from Allen Press in Kansas which means that at least a fair number of people will be receiving their copies between Christmas and New Year and the vast majority by the end of the first week in January. That said, last year things did not go so smoothly, whether because of seasonal delays or whatever I do not know. So bear with us - we're doing our best - a first reaction is "Great issue.  Great authors!".

IN the middle of all the woe (about the SeedEx) I'm happy to report that the QUarterly has started to arrive with the first report that's come my way being from Ohio. Hope so many more of you will have it by Christmas and again many many more before New Year.

And I've been meaning to post that mine came Monday (day before yesterday).

I have only been able to quickly page through the photos, and the article "A Prairie in Illinois" has a wad of most excellent pictures.  Just try to take good in situ photos showing off particular prairie species all among other plants, I dare you...

And I can hardly wait to see what "Seed Crimes" is all about...

Great job (as usual) to everyone involved!

Mine arrived today in northern New Mexico. I've only read the first couple articles, but it looks like an excellent issue!

So, have other Albertans received this issue by now?  Mine seems to have gone adrift somewhere.
