Michael - as well, thanks a lot for taking the time to post these pictures.
It's always so interesting to see some of the 'behind the scene' areas from botanical gardens that are not open to the public.
Stunning Dionysias!

The plunge bed construction looks interesting. Seems to be Sindayo (cement fibre) board just edge bolted from the closeup. Only seen it used around furnaces etc. before not wet places. are there any other bolt heads visible indicating construction?

Interesting - it looked like aluminium to me - but the ends are screwed and the watering pipe looks like it was nailed - odd but would be interested to see how it has been done

some more Dionysia-hybrids





Dionysia afghanica-hybrid MK 06458/2 thr




this hybrid is different to MK 06458/1 - but they are sisters!




Dionysia afghanica-hybrid MK 01458/6 thr




Dionysia afghanica-hybrid MK 01458/9 thr


@Graeme: Your right, the plunge bed are constructed in aluminium. Concerning our cultivation and equipment it might be better to start an extra thread... :)

These white hybrids are very attractive - a refreshing sight.


Michael, you are most welcome to begin a thread to describe  your cultivation methods and  alpine house equipment. That would be of great interest, I do not doubt.

Hi Michael,
It's wonderful to see these plants which are impossible to source over here and would be impossible to grow in our conditions ::)
So it's great to see what you grow!
I especially love the hybrid 'Judith Bramley' - stunning!
cheers

last Dionysias in full flower...


Dionysia involucrata in the tuffa-wall


...and self-sown underneath


white form of Dionysia involucrata


Dionysia involucrata 'ALBA'


Dionysia involucrata 'ALBA' seedling from last year


...and from this year



and some more of them in the propagation-house, promissing for the next seedexchange.



There are more photos of other Dionysias I haven't posted yet, perhaps if we have some more rainy days I can make up this...

Best wishes,

Michael
