Alpine house 2011

[Jozef Lemmens]

Lesley, thanks for the information. I will change the name of my plant to Sax. pubescens.

[adrian young]

I have the Sax as Saxifraga pubescens ssp. iratiana, but is probably wrong.
Ramberlea (x) 'Inchgarth' is an intergeneric hybrid of Ramonda and Haberlea.

Jozef
S.pubescens ssp. iratiana has red spots on the petals and shorter stems.
I don't think it is in cultivation now, Brian Burrow may have it.
Probably S.pubescens Snowcap

[Lesley Cox]

Oh Golly Jozef, don't take my word for it, though I see Adrian has commented too. His info more likely to be right than mine.

Leucanophora chubutensis flowers for the first time. I raised it from seed collected by Vojtech Holubec
in the Rio Mayo region of Argentinia.

[Lori S.]

That's a beauty!  Is it related to Oxalis, perhaps?

[ruweiss]

Lori, at the first look these flowers are similar to Oxalis, but the plants
belong to the Malvaceae.

Oh, I like your Leucanophora Rudi ! I also had some seeds from Vojtech but I had bad luck ...nothing germinates...
The South American Malvaceae are gorgeous and belong to my all time favorites. I grow only two at the moment and they are flowering now.
The first is Nototriche mackleanii and the second is Lecanophora subacaule .
If there is  anyone who can share some South American Malvaceae , I am always interested ...

Really like your Nototriche mackleanii, have never seen it before. Lovely plant

Thank you .
There homecountrie is Peru Angie . It is not that common I suppose and only suitable for alpinehouse... But if you can give such conditions , it is well worth growing.
It flowers allmost from march untill late autumn ! Had it even in flower by november.

You wouldn't have a name of a supplier that I could purchase the plant. I keep my greenhouse between 3-5 in the winter so maybe I would survive ok. Anything that flowers that long is worthwhile trying to source.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Angie , first the easy part ...I think your greenhouse must be ideal for the Nototriche !
But ,  in our countries (Belgium ,the Netherlands)it was only one time available...Some years ago ,my good friend Ger Vandenbeuken has it on his plantlist.I was lucky and could buy one.
I don't know if he put it on his list this year  , maybe you could send him a PM.
My cuttings from previous year all died  I  take again few cuttings , but it is to early for some results ...
I don't know if there is anyone who sell it in the UK. Cheers,Kris

[angie]

Thanks for the help. I will see what I can do. Like I say something that flowers that long is worth trying to get a hold of.

Plants and I believe seed has been offered this year by Peter and Louise Salmond, hokpines@actrix.gen.nz

A brother and sister team and the most skilled growers in NZ, with some fabulous plants for sale, and seeds, some of which are only for overseas people. (Some not available to locals!)

[angie]

Lesley excuse my ignorance but why are some not available to locals.
