Very interesting to see what is flowering in other gardens. We have had more monsoon rain today and over the weekend . I post a picture of Lilium canadensis which has just opened, cheers Ian the Christie kind.

Sempervivum and Jovibarba flower profusely this year, even at places which are
not so sunny as usual. It is quite interesting to raise seedlings from the resulting
seeds, they grow really quick and you can select many interesting forms and colours.

Parochetus communis never before flowered as well as it does this summer. Funny enough Seedlist Handbook lists it as half hardy. Still it survives the winters here in North Norway without problems, even the winter of 2010 with hard frost and no snow cover for almost 3 months.

What a wonderful Lily that is. I saw it once in bloom in North Sweden. Have been trying to get hold of it ever since, but bulbs seem hard to come by here.

This is one of our favourite garden plants, Magnar. The blue is bewitching.
I think that the Himalayan "version" of the plant, originally  described from Nepal is totally hardy but the African version, usually sold under the same name but, more correctly (I think!) P. africanus, though appearing identical in every way, is the one which can be rather tender.

this codonopsis grown from seed was labled Codonopsis convolvulacea. This is the first flovering which suggests it is not C.convolvulacea if nice. Anyone to help with the ID?

Thank you, Maggi. I was not aware of that, guess it explains the whole thing.  :)

1. Cirsium eriophorum from 63d SRGC seed is not at all an alpine but luxurious
2,3. A Maackia (not sure about the species name) chinensis?
