Many thanks Ruweiss, it really does help.  And I should have said earlier, what beautiful specimens you have in your alpine house.  Love the calceolarias!

Lovely pics everyone.  Got to love those Calceolarias..... rarely ever see anything here in Canberra other than the occasional annual types for "potted colour" in the nurseries.  Some of them shown in these pages are breathtaking!!!!!

Ypsilandra thibetica. Nice scent & flowers eventually turn pinkish, ? when pollinated.
Propagation tip - grows easily from leaf cuttings. Place each end into comost & easily get a plantlet at either end. Much easier & quicker than from seed.

Chorispora bungeana. Flowering for the first time from AGS seed. Nicely scented & produces a nice central clump of flowers. unlke elegans which has straggly flowering stems.

A short look into the Alpine house, Calc.uniflora and Boykinia jamesii are already out of flower.
Talinum "Zoe" is a Hybrid of T.okanoganense with T.spinescens, I got this plant more than
20 years ago from a Czech friend and it grows and flowers profusely as ever.

I don't think I've seen Calceolaria pinifolia.... makes a neat shape, doesn't it?

Great stuff Rudi !
Beautiful Calceolaria's !
My C. Joe Elliot isn't flowering yet (out in the garden) - I love it as a wonderful Campanula but I even more appreciate it for being a little late - gives me some colour when most of the Rock Garden has gone over.  :D

Also conifers enjoy the stay in the Alpine house, especially if they are of doubtful hardiness
in colder areas. This small bun is about 15 years old.
Calceolaria umbellata was raised from AGS seed last year and now present itself as a valuable
rockgarden plant,also in the open garden.
Camp.choruhensis from the Choruh Gorge in North Eastern Turkey, does also well in a crevice
in the open garden. When I raised this plant from seed, no free space was available and a transplanting now
to  the open garden would surely kill it.
Campanula coriacea is a living souvenir of a trip to South Eastern Turkey, where we found it 1989 at the
Castle Rock of Van and collected some seeds.
Nassauvia clavata is of Southern American origin (Via Saxonian Nursery)

Rudi, I love the campanulas but, as always, everything you grow looks so wonderful it's hard to choose a favourite  :)
