Alpines - Image of the Day 2012

I was just searching for something else in an old SRGC Journal and I found this note from 1953 :




A reminder that Journals 1 to 113 of the SRGC are available to download, with a full index (prepared by Glassford Sprunt) from the website:

Mine doesn't seem to have any spotting at all so there's obvious variation among forms. The plant I had of amoena had a more compact and squared off rosette, closer to (but not as tight as) that of G. urnula (from the few Internet pics I've been able to find).

Dianthus plumarius has looked good all year. They went out of favor for some reason, but I love them. Short growing to 25cm, they will flower for two months then given a haircut, will spark into flower again. Tremendous rock plant or front of the border plant.

This is an appropriate little plant for SRGC because it was raised by Eric Smith and Jim Archibald at 'The Plantsman Nursery'. Geranium x lindavicum 'Gypsy'. (I imagine Jim, who named it, ran into some belles on his travels!). It is a super plant, but slow and difficult to propagate like a lot of these small alpine geraniums. It was a cross between the much paler x lindavicum 'Lissadell' and cinereum ssp. subcaulescens.

I visited your website - thanks for sharing the beautiful pictures of beautiful places.  I especially liked the close-up of the ranunculus flower surrounded with snow/frost.
