Karl,

What lovely pics.  The first one in your second posting looks like a perfect rock garden that someone has planted out in their garden.  Very cool!  The goats are cute, the Viola even moreso, and the Rhododendron is spectacular.  Fantastic pics, thanks so much for posting them.

Magnar and Karl - your pictures are breathtaking - Cypripedium corrugatum is a real stunner and interesting and beautiful Paeoniahybrid.

I echo Hans' comments. 

I am intrigued by the Delphinium - how tall is it?  Does it easily form a clump?

Karl,
I spent 6 beautiful days in the Eisenerzer Alpen in 2004 (I was on Reichenstein too, and have seen also the goats  ). Thank you so much for your pics!

The Delphinium is about 25 cm here growing in compost. If it gets poorer soil it only gets to may be 15 cm. And yes, it quite easily forms a good clump.

Do you have several forms of it? I received seeds from you a few years ago, they all grew into wonderful plants, but are much taller, 65cm in flower.

Yes I have got lower forms since you got the seeds.

Lovely plant, Susan, wish it was so hardy that it could be grown in my garden.
