Kristl,
The special I found is that the flower is very small, light pink and striped.
Maybe a little T. undulatun suffering of drought?
We had a lot of snow, but only 3 to 5 good rainy days since melting down.

I planned several times this week to send some pictures, but had to give up
because of to slow Forum.
Now I try again with some plants this week in our garden.
The Sisymbrium is a beautiful huge plant of app. 2 m. and I learned to
cut it down after flowering, or the whole place would be only one species.
Geranium ibericum ssp. jubatum Vital
Geranium ibericum ssp. jubatum
Disporum pernyi
Helianthemum
Paeonia Krinkled White
Phlomis + Lysimachia
Tanacetum corymbosum Blütentisch
Tanacetum corymbosum Zauberstern
Stipa gigantea
Sisymbrium luteum

Luit...I too love the Sisymbrium, and its GLORIOUS FRAGRANCE---but strangely it has hardly self-sown here over the decade it has been in the garden--and I have large, large patches of it for seed production (rarely ever collect all the seed).
It's early Penstemon time here. I've given up on the anxiety producing, choice and difficult westeners--if I grow them once and they are happy here, so be it. And there are many that don't mind my difficult summers. I grow most of them either in the sand beds or in scree. The eastern species grow anywhere they want.

Nice Penstemon Kristl. This P. eatonii must be a beauty when flowering.
What a colour.
A pity that Penstemon seemingly don't like our soil.
Most die after some years and seedlings come up, but die too.
Some more plants in our garden.
The Quercus I saw as a15 years old plant in a garden, not higher than 1 m.
My plant is now app. 50 cm.
The Tradescantia Snowbank is a good low form like Bilberry Ice.
The best thing to keep them free from seedlings is cut them off after flowering.
Erigeron Schwarzes Meer
Erigeron Rotes Meer
Geranium Johnson's Blue
Geranium lambertii Coombland White
Quercus palustris Green Dwarf
Salvia nemorosa Blauhügel
Salvia nemorosa Ostfriesland
Tradescantia Bilberry Ice
Tradescantia Snowbank
Iris forrestii

Lovely pictures, the blue Penstemon species are stunning, ditto for Iris forrestii!
Luit: Do you grow 'Coombland White' in pure sand? It didn't survive the winter here, but I'm not sure if it was a drainage or a hardiness issue, or maybe both.
Below:
Stellera chamaejasme - Is this one possible to pollinate, or will I just have to hope for a hungry moth?
Nomocharis farreri ex Pianma
Dodecatheon dentatum
Nomocharis saluenensis in bud
Iris tenax (or hybrid?)
...and a couple more pics of the three yellow Nomocharis aperta, the spotted one is quite nice.

Where do you garden? I would love to grow many of the plants you have shown, especially the yellow nomocharis, but I think I am in an area that is too hot for them.

Arisaema,
you have very lovely plants in your garden. I like the dodecatheon dentatum especially. I've tried growing it from seed a couple times but it never came up

Arisaema, I'm just keeping Geranium Coombland White with changing success.
I would not recommend it as very hardy, because being a hybrid with G. traversii blood.
Every plant here is growing in pure sand, changing soil is not possible or necessary.
For David some more for your wants list?:
Acantholimon glumaceum
Anemone rivularis
Dianthus plumarius Pink Jewel
Geranium x magnificum Rosemoor
Santolina serratifolia
Sempervivum
Veronica austriaca Knallblau
Dianthus plumarius Munot 1
Dianthus plumarius Munot
Chloranthes japonica

Arisaema:
I get seeds on my Stellera chamaejasme but only after I got more than one plant. I grow them close together, but maybe you do as well?
Here are some pics from my garden to day (taken in full sun)
1 Stellera chamaejasme
2 Iris cycloglossa
3 Asperula gussonii - just coming into flower
4 Meconopsis delavayi
5 Senecio integrifolius - a very nice form that I found in the Carpathians (Romania)

Wonderful, wonderful pictures everyone. After a month of not visiting I have no hope of catching up on everything. So glad I started with this thread as the first viewing...... stunning pics. Never heard of Stellera before, but WOW, and that Dodecatheon is so beautiful!
Thanks all.
Oh yeah.... Luit..... those Dactylorrhiza are breathtaking. I think I might have to take a copy of that pic out and show my 3 little noses of D. fuchsii what they SHOULD be trying to grow like. Not in my climate unfortunately!
What a wonderful view!

Art: I live in the southernmost part of Norway, 20 miles north of Mandal. Summer temps rarely climb above 30C/86F here, usually staying in the mid to high twenties, but I don't think Nomocharis would mind a little more heat as long as you keep them moist and shaded.
Wim: Please remind me in August, I have to move it, so may be able to trade you a piece. Best of luck with overwintering the Hippeastrum!
Luit: I'd trade my clay for your sand any day, we just had the wettest winter on record. You certainly posted one on my "wants list", that fantastic clump of Chloranthus! I have a similar looking one, but it has yet to sprout and doesn't flower here until late August/early September.
Geir: Thanks, that explains the lack of seeds, I only have that one plant. Stunning plants, that Juno in particular!
Below some awfully garish Incarvillea zhongdianensis - the rock gardener's
Begonia x tuberhybrida
- and an only slighly less garish I. younghusbandii. Does anyone know how to separate I. zhongdianensis from I. mairei and I. delavayi? The former was published after the FoC treatment, so it didn't make the key.
Iris hookeri
Nomocharis sp. (meleagrina or pardanthina)
Nomocharis saluenensis
Paeonia delavayi (hybrid?)
Primula
'Green Lace'
'Francisca'
