Michael,

I wasn't implying it had been manipulated.  I had assumed it was just that fiery colour naturally!!  I am guessing from your response that this colour is unusual in Androsace?  I grow exactly 2 of the genus.... they don't like our summers as far as I know, so I haven't gone there.  ;D

Franz, your Androsace x marpensis is wonderful! I am not able to get so many flowers.
Your A. jacquemontii seems me to be A. globifera. If it is so, it is a miracle, so many flowers!
I attach here a picture of my A. jacquemontii

Yes, Zdenek, you have got to love Androsace to raise them; they can drive us to distraction, but yours are brilliant.  Thanks for sharing them with us.  Alan J.

Three last Androsaces of this month:
A. ciliata x pubescens - probably cultural crossing
A. cylindrica x hirtella - the most easy Aretian Androsace grown
A. villosa var congesta - the real thing from Turkey

The one I can really count on in the garden is Androsace villosa.  It seems able to accept dry conditions and most of the others I've tried cannot do so.

Those pictures of Franz and Zdenek are pure magic. Like Anne our garden is dry and only stronger and more familiar species like studiosorum  and sempervivoides really do well. I must try forms of villosa because jacquemontii grows well if slowly. I wonder how many growers in the UK succeed so well with choicer species outside? They look so good in those first few pictures from Franz.
