I agree with Cohan, the Androsace is very nice. I have a great deal of respect for those that can accommodate plants of this genus. I have been something like the "Grim Reaper" for all of the Androsace species i have attempted(unless you lump Douglasia in this taxon, which i do not). I took a few pictures this afternoon of whats going in the garden.

Well Merlin, in my case it isn't my skill to praise! I can't be blamed for my climate! However, quite often it is the skilled gardener's labor that is the key for success.
I think you have done well yourself with plants I couldn't easily grow here

Thalictrum alpinum is native here too, but I have never bothered growing it....need a magnifying glass to appreciate it!

Your Arabis isn't much bigger - but much more pretty

Todd, for me the flowers of J. dubia are weather-dependant, but typically lasting about 2 weeks here given seasonably cool weather. J. diphylla on the other hand, has flowers notorious for lasting merely a day or two if warm or hot temperatures arrive while deciduous forests haven't leafed out, although in cool weather, these can last 1 week, but this year with consistently cool weather while they were starting to bloom, they lasted about 1-1/2 weeks; unheard of!

It has been warm here this past few days so I guess that is why the blooming season ws so short this year. My J. diphylla is still in bud yet.
After 3 years of waiting, Geum reptans has finally bloomed...the flowers are huge for the size of the plant.

A true high-alpine, Todd and an absolute joy in flower. Rarely seen on the show benches in it's true butter-yellow glory - one of my favourite species of the rarified heights. Many thanks for posting.

Todd, warmth, what is that? Here it still wintry air and most plants are after schedule. My sole Jeffersonia has taken weeks to develop its buds - no flowers yet.
Nice Geum!
Cliff, cute little Shortia! (BTW I've got hold of your book - beautiful!)
