Thanks for the photos of your visit, Mike...... it's very interesting to see the new Alpine House and plants growing there...the Acis autumnale is lovely - i imagine it is a bulb?
Hypsela reniformis is a very attractive alpine too  :)

Hi Cohan,
It's about 45 minutes drive away

oh, very close by our standards! we go shopping most weeks, sometimes more than once, in the nearest small city about that distance...

Mick,

Fantastic pics.  Those troughs are amazing, particularly the biggest one.  :o :o :o :o :o :o  The Hypsela is a cutie, isn't it?  At first glance it almost resembled a Trillium (Pseudotrillium) rivale.  Obviously the closer view of the flowers showed it wasn't.  ;D  Wonderful pics, thanks so much.
Cheers.
