Hi John,
I'm just catching up with things I missed while we were away - and this was an amazing trip you did! Thanks so much for sharing with us - even if it has cost you a fortune in chocolate! ;D
cheers

wow!
 i saw this title a while back, but didn't have a chance to get to it til now--some truly amazing plants! and i have to say, at times it makes me feel like we (in this region) got only the poor cousins in many genera!..lol..
here's hoping that caltha makes its way onto some seed lists!

Some breathtaking stuff in this thread.... the hillside of Primulas is amazing, that purple Caltha, the glorious pic at the top of the second page of Paraguilegia microphylla  :o... so many wonderful things to view.  Thanks so much.  8)

Thanks heaven - and Maggi - for that last link. I had never even SEEN this thread. Why didn't the notification come through as usual?

As a side note, my dentist, whose name is Geiling Huang, comes from Chengdu. She has no idea of the plants which grow near her home, only pandas.

Like Lesley I am thankful to Maggi for the link to the Caltha.

Stunning pictures  :o :) :o-

Are seeds of the Androsace available, or are they like others not in cultivation.
