February 2013 in the Northern Hemisphere

A couple from me
Gymnospermium albertii which never seems to get bigger and a snowdrop

Hello Ian, I have the same problem with Gymnospermium, alive but not kicking!

Thanks Gert

It would be nice to hear from anyone who can grow Gymnospermium to any size. Coming from the area it does seem as though it ought to like to be dry in summer and is not to concerned about dry cold in winter.

I know these are ordinary but I have to start somewhere.

Great to see the blooms starting in your troughs, Kevin. The first Saxifraga flowers are only just beginning here in Aberdeen.  They are cheerful wee plants, aren't they?

[Brian Ellis]

Nothing wrong with ordinary Kevin, it means you have success!  They are coming on nicely, well done.
