A few of Ken's Hellebores that started flowering about 2 or more weeks ago.  I'm partial to the greens.

Hard to choose a fave - all so pretty.  I have a surprisingly high threshold  of tolereancefor double hellebores.  Pity that so many dangle their heads so much , of course.

Nice selection Trond. I liked the second of your Hellebore seedlings, very flouncy and 'Victorian' looking. I liked your Primula minima alba too, I've never seen one in the 'flesh' as it were and haven't been able to find a supplier.

Thanks David. Personally I prefer simple flowers but it has its charm  :)

Regarding Primula minima alba, I don't know whether they deliver to GB but they have it here: http://www.draglandplanteskole.no/PlanteSortiment.aspx?Kategori=Stauder&navpath=Planteutvalg%2fStauder

I grow it on my shed roof!

Hi Trond, it doesn't look as though they deliver to UK anyway. Probably as well, my conditions in the Banana Belt (I wish!) wouldn't suit it at all, nice plant though it should do well in Scotland.

Soldanella alpina flowering for the first time, a quick picture before a fat squirrel comes and trample on it. I am happy even with one flower :)

Ken was happy to land this from Thimble 10 days ago, Asteropyrum.  Hasn't mentioned the price yet.  Slugs got the last one.

Asteropyrum is  interesting isn't it?  Looks like it must surely be herbaceous yet they are  evergreen I believe?
