Trond, you couldn't see the Dodecatheon because I still haven't posted photos! I've had so little online time, posting photos has not been an option.. meanwhile the photos pile up...lol
Today I planned a walk and or ride, followed by more digging, but the rain has been sticking around, and I haven't mustered the ambition to do work indoors I should, an d since my internet connection is somewhat there, I'm doing some catching up!
Love blue Cory!
Jim, love Sphaeralcea and this one is extra nice- is this the really small one that grows with Lepidium etc?
Lori, nice to see the Cyp being unmolested so far...

Yes, this Sphaeralcea occurs in the same area as Lepidium nanum and Astragalus uncialis both in the wild and in my garden :-) looks like a lot of seed set from them this year. This has been a good year for germination here it would seem (if not pollination). Lots of seeds have germinated from seeds tossed in the garden years ago. Surprise of surprises is the dozens of Penstemon acaulis seedlings that have come from seeds of their parents a few yards away, the plant i though least likely to take over my garden is at least making an effort.

Physaria didymocarpa
, among the other alpines:

i have this picture of a small plant in flower from a few years ago. These plants are much bigger now but are out of flower.

Flowering earlier than normal, is the very late flowering hybrid Azalea,
Rhododendron 'Late Date'
(natural
arborescens x prunifolium
hybrid, hardy to -15 F). Normally flowering in August, this year it started blooming mid-July. The blooms are richly perfumed, pure white flowers with long red styles and pinkish-red stamens are visually compelling as well. Stands up well to full sun exposure, planted next to my deck stair to enjoy fragrance and flowers.

I love the eastern Azaleas: amazing to have them so late! I have found they do much better for us than evergreen rhodies, by and large, so have added quite a few the last few years.

That is a very beautiful azalea - the Ericaceae are so fascinating but our garden is so dry that we grow very few. It would be great to try this in a pot.
This is a nice plant from Kevock Nursery in Edinburgh -
Leontopodium coreanum

Leontopodium
coreanum
. Could it be a less fussy Leontopodium for low elevation growers?

Jim, thanks so much for posting the picture of Astragalus uncialis. I've never tried this one and it looks quite nice. Can you tell me in general the conditions it prefers? And its eventual size?

I don't know the leontopodium's origins Rick - must check in Kevock's list; presumably part of its range anyway is Korea. It does seem a nice vigorous plant and the one or two other species I have tried haven't persisted. Edleweiss is such an archetypal name in the alpine world but I wonder how many people actually grow any? (I do grow the New Zealand leucogynes and, touch wood, these are settling down).
The astragalus is very attractive - I would love to have more success growing these peas!

Still sorting through 1500 images taken in the Beartooth and Bighorn Mountains...what spectacular places. I have never seen so many alpines. Here is just a teaser shot of the habitat in the Beartooths...still lots of snow around but loads of alpines as well.

Love the Beartooth: it is rich. And sounds like you hit it perfectly! Bravo.
