Maggi, Kris and Chris,
at first take my apologies for the wrong species name of the Leucheria, it was a writing mistake by me,
of course it must be Leucheria diemii!
I ordered some wild seed raised Argentinan plants from Gerd Stopp's Nursery and beside some nice Calceolarias
this was the first other plant which flowered for me. Gerd's name for this plant was L. leontopodioides, but in the
pictures of Martin Sheader's excellent book Flowers of the Patagonian Mountains it looks more like L. diemii.
As I am just a simple amateur gardener I accepted this name but can't guarantee for it.
Kris, your Nototriche is so beautiful,and I was so sad, when I lost mine after a cold winter, maybe it was also a
cultivation mistake by me.

I bought a plant of Pinguicula grandiflora x vallisnerifolia on ebay 18 months ago. Grows fine, a little larger than the P. grandiflora I have and darker flower. Sets seed but also have both in flower so may be back cross. I also have from NARGS seed one named as P. grandiflora 'Burren form'. Doesn't seem to be any different from my other form. Anyone else have such a named plant?

You built a fantastic Alpine house, and the plants look lovely .... I particularly like the clematis. What are your sunken beds filled with?

Brian, here is again the photo of my Pinguicula grandiflora rosea x vallisnerifolia. I bought it from
the  Carow Nursey, specialized in Carnivorous Plants.
Corradoerina, my clay pots are plunged in river sand.

Michael, what a beautiful plant! Did you raise it from seed
and how old is it?

Campanula fragilis from the Italian Abruzzi Mts. is in full flower.
