Lori is being snowed on, McMark is being fried alive ( or that's how it appears from chilly Aberdeen!)... all have wonderful plants in their gardens to share with us....this encapsulates all the joy and charms of the little mountainplants ....is there any wonder we are so enthrall to them?  :) :) 8)

true--i haven't even thought about being frost free, we've had days of almost 30C and other days of 3C, snow, rain, fierce dry winds and my sempervivum have been actively growing for ages, as are some natives from the foothills/mountains...
my muscari are still at the low bud stage!

Oddly enough I haven't seen one this year but had loads last year. Must have squashed them all before they laid eggs.

Lovely stuff Paddy, Armin and Lorri. I moan about my climate Lorri but yours would drive me to suicide ;D

Like your Roscoea Fred.

hi there, I'd appreciate an ID on this. I got this as A.saximontana from AGS seed..not particularly suprised it's not, does it look like A. bertolinii? 

Whatever it is it's very nice, big flowers on a tiny plant, has survived outside in troughs and in the rock garden.

The other pic is of Polygonatum hookerii which is flowering for the first time and is just tiny, hopefully more flowers as more tufts are breaking through.

lori had asked me some time ago about Caltha palustris
they did not flower as early as the petasites, but i managed to find exactly one plant in flower for mother's day (i usually pick a bouquet of caltha and petasites)..
funny thing is, i realised i forgot to photograph the caltha before picking it, so i later stuck the flowering stem into another caltha plant for a couple of shots  ;D
many more plants were in bud, and by now they are in full flower all over, including shady areas where they are slower..

Calypso bulbosa arguably our loveliest native orchid; this is on the farm my acreage was once a part of...just a few minutes walk from my house into the bush..
