Todd, the Geum reptans is beautiful and worth the wait. It's one of my favorite high alpines even though ut's certainly not in the "bun" category. I love the seed heads too and the color of the stems. It's really a gorgeous all-round plant. Did you grow it from seed?

Very impressive, Michael. Is it for the show bench?

John, I like the news from your little paradise. Sclerocactus parviflorus and S. glauca both look to be well worth trying here in New England (and certainly farther south) as "winter hardy cacti". I have seedlings (one plant each!) from Mesa Garden seed through three winters now. The later looks to probably be the tougher of the two. I'd love to up my odds. Could I beg a few seeds?

Here's a plant you don't see too often...Gentiana striata. I got this a few weeks ago from Beavercreek...the plant is weak so I don't expect it to survive.

Krish, the Primula looks more like veris than elatior.

Good colour, Krish! Some things are growing here now, though we've had some cold wet days too!

Thanks Cohan. The weather has improved a lot. Frost warning tonight. I went outside and took pictures of the different primulas.

You're doing very nicely with the Primulas, Krish
P veris red is very nice! I have an auricula flowering now- a sort of faded plum shade; I think somewhere I mentioned planting two last summer, one flowered in fall and disappeared over winter! just about a foot or less away from the plum that is doing nicely now... I'll be looking for more of them...
