Sedum pilosum is a classic...but I love it every spring. Just like Petrophytum hendersonii and the others.

Hello John, I was wondering about the overall size of your Rhododendron bushes just pictured above. They are so attractive! Thanks

Hi Arturo,
R. calostrotum ~ has a diameter of about 9inches and a height of 2.5inches. (23centimetres x 6.4 centimetres)
R. campylogynum ~ is oval shaped, 15inches x 9inches x 5inches high. (38centimetres x 23 centimetres x 12centimetres)
I have had both of these for several years. R. calostrotum had a piece broken off it and R. campylogynum had to be moved as a Phyllodoce was starting to covering it.  8)

Gabriela...

a certain amount of order and cleanliness makes life a lot easier...says my wife. I try to put this philosophy into practice. Sometimes I succeed. 😆😆

But in the Alpinum it should be wild and natural.

Potting of the young plants was finished today. Today I have mainly potted species from British Columbia and Washington State...and Silene dinarica (Piatra Crailului Mountains, Romania, 2200 meters)...a species you surely know. 😊

By the way, I have a second area for young plants and purchased plants. It's a little sunnier there and I can shade it if necessary.
