Ernebjerg SBBE 2013 China

Jens Birck just sent me this link to a superb collection of photos of the Ernebjerg SBBE 2013 expedition to China - Flowers and Mountains. A vast array of plants and there are 772 photos and I am glued to the screen.
Problem is this link starts at photo 502 and I cannot seem to get back to photo #1. If someone can get a link to #1 perhaps you could pm Maggi and she can correct the link below.

(edit - see link to gallery thumbnails in next post)
johnw - grey and +11c. Balmy for mid-November.

Stunning is an understatement! Maggi, you must be enjoying the focus on small rhodies, the area seems rich with tantalizing small rhododendron species. I have bookmarked the link, in my "armchair botanizing" folder

Yes Mark, I am really enjoying the number of dwarf species - wonderful little plants. Truth is, though, I love them all - and the landscape views in Ernebjerg's gallery are marvelous too - and the elegance of the old pine trees is fascinating- like artwork!

Maggi - I am intrigued with the wonderful little lepidote in photos 285 & 291. Thoughts? I'll consult JN too.
Head still spinning from that chamaeunum - that species gets me every time. We got a marvellous one fom Cullen at RBGE way back.

Only lust, John.
More terrific foliage and how big is the flower in comparison? My ignorance of the plants in the wild is a big drawback for ID - but a special thrill when seeing such a display of plants in habitat.
Just refueling with a hot mocha-chocolate drink to keep myself calm

It is especially heartening to see that R. haematodes looks as bad in the wild as in the garden! Only the possessed grow it to perfection..............

Fabulous pink Primula I have just spotted, what a blissful site to while away a LOT of time.

Hi Maggi
I arranged a Rhododendron expedition to the Mekong Valley Yunnan China in June 2013 named Scandinavian Beimashan &Biluoshan expedition 2013. I send you a link to my photoes from this expedition, please put it on the relevant forum.
(Somebody got a link from Jens Chr. Birck but it did not work properly.)
All the best

Dear Members of the Scottish Rock Garden society.
I am glad that you enjoy my photos, but I would appreciate that you address your questions to me. Doing so I get information about something I might have missed, and you get correct information from the source. See the information on the web album: Album properties.
Best regards
Bent Ernebjerg
