Wolfgang,the Ramondas are very special. Are they difficult to keep? I had only seen two before, in the Köln Flora, growing in deep shade on the side of a rock, in a crevice. How are they from seed? I may be able to get some from the Flora.
Here is my Embothrium lanceolatum Norquinco Valley form now about 20ft tall. Pam thinks it is an awkward shaped thing and doesn't want it but she keeps quiet when it is flowering. I know it isn't an alpine but it is something that you just can't miss
In case anyone was wondering how late things are here ( )...[Cohan, I have to correct myself - bristlecone pine (Pinus aristata) is not native here (guess I was thinking of limber pine); it occurs at high elevations in Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona, and gets to 15-20m but is very slow-growing here; it was bought, not grown from seed. Botanus is a decent source of fall bulbs though not for the more unusual species you will see on this forum... but one has to start somewhere!

Luit, Erigeron scopulinum does not make any self seed with me, it wanders on only quite slowly and creeps over stones and through rock cracks. Growth within 5 years approx. 30 cm.Increase by dividing.Karl
