July 2017 in the Northern hemisphere

Prometheum sempevivoides from the central Taurus (Anatolia) in normal size. The third photo shows three copies the unusual one are tall. Strangely. I never had this with this type. Mutants?

Very cool little plant
Not perennial I guess?

Old name is Sedum sempervivoides... monocarp. So I always hope for seed.

A quick trip around the garden to show you what is in flower today.

A single flower on our Androcymbium striata the bulbs were very kindly given to us by George Elder.

A slightly out of focus Aster alpinus var. dolomiticus it's second flush this year.

3 views of the rock garden and scree.

More views and a lovely Geranium spotted in JohnnieD's garden and kindly given to us.  Don't we gardeners rely on the kindness and generosity of others.

Last batch, including our native Marsh Helleborine Epipactis palustris and also a new little Sedum which looks interesting S. corralloides.

Lovely photos of your garden, Shelagh. I think the geranium is pelargonium sidoides, which always survives the winter in my unheated greenhouse - I keep it dry. I am not sure how reliable it would be outside over the winter.

The Sedum corraloides with its great growth form and silver colors I like especially ... great.

Clematis columbiana var. tenuiloba from South Dakota..., unfortunately, also this year only one blossom.

This is a very attractive little Clematis, so even one blossom is great... I don't see well the position you are growing it, but I've been lucky to see it high up the mountain (Utah) and it grows in full sun exposure (which is crazy in July/August) on wind swept rocks ledges and the likes.
It is one that doesn't like to be 'pampered'

Many thanks for the tip with regard to the lighting conditions... Gabriela. My plant stands in the shade of a tree. Therefore, maybe she does not blossom so richly. I would want my North America - area sometime sometimes reshape... then I will place these small Clematis a little sunnier.

Campanula zoysii

[Lesley Cox]

Well done Thomas. While it is wonderful to see perfect show specimens in pots, it is especially nice to see such plants as Campanula zoysii creeping about in an open garden situation, as if it were in the mountains. Love your Clematis too. 

Sheila that is certainly a delicious Sedum. And what a wonderful summer show you have there. Heart-warming in our mid winter.

Cremanthodium rhodocephalum -First time flowering for me (container grown).

[Lesley Cox]

An amazing photograph, showing absolutely EVERYTHING about this lovely plant. It must be better that the plant itself!  (I had thought all cremanthodiums were yellow!)
