Hello Trond,

... I have the feeling that you've seen everything you need to see there. The different oxalis are wonderful. I especially like the first picture. The combination with the other plant (senecio skottsbergii??) is great.
But also the different filigree forms of the foliage fascinate me again and again.

Hi Trond,

The photographs of the plants are amazing.  8)  Some are so very beautiful! I admit my ignorance of the flora of this region is overwhelming.

I especially liked the last photograph of Oxalis erythrorhiza with the snow capped peaks in the back ground.

Thank you for sharing all of this with us.  8)   :)

Thanks Thomas. It is still much to see though!

Did you stay long enough to collect seeds from the flowers you photographed?

No I didn't. It was far to early in the season.

Trond  - An eye-opener as I had never considered there may be other spp. of Anathrophyllum aside from desideratum!  It would be interesting to cross the different species to get a range of habits.  Not that it would help with their growability or hardiness....

Thanks John!

I have to correct a mistake I did though. Anarthrophyllum subandinum is actually A. burkartii. And it should be quite hardy growing above the treeline:

601933-0

Also A. desideratum and strigulipetalum grow quite high up in the mountains. Precipitation is more important.

The peas are great Trond :) I particularly like the Astragalus spp.

I find the Leguminosae are less cultivated in general (regardless of the origin); are people favouring the actinomorphic flowers over the zygomorphic ones? this would be an interesting idea to research.
