Trond, It's great to see your Hylomecon. Do you get seeds on it at all?
Lesley, I have 3 different specimens but they are at a distance from each other and I have never got seeds at all. Maybe I should try to help with a brush ;)

Trond, the ex-Dicentra is interesting... is it a big plant?

Cohan, it is about 3/4 m high and with a running rhizomes. The new stems pop up about every 1/2m. It is not aggressive though so it mixes easily with other plants.

Graham, impressive Calceolaria! I had it once but it died of drought - who should have foreseen that at my place ???

Olga, I am jealous of your white Glaucidium! I have a nice, big clump of the ordinary colour but haven't been lucky with the white so far!

Ian, that Paris is really something :o

Thanks Lesley, Olga and Trond,
The Calceolaria has been in the trough for three years now. It was more compact last year and consequently the flowers were closer together. It seems to be creeping from its original position. The trough is covered for the winter to keep out the wet rather than the cold.
Olga - I can see what you mean. I think people see different things. Maggi thought they looked like a choir last year.

The Jancaea's are great, Kris.
I've got Edraianthus serpyllifolius on the tufarocks. (photo 1,2 and 3)
Some more plants of the tufa: Arenaria tetraquetra (photo 4), Globularia incanescens (photo 5), Eritrichium pauciflorum ssp. sajanense (photo 6), Morisia monanthos (photo 7), Androsace villosa ‘arachnoidea’ (photo 8), Campanula dzaaku (photo 9) and Androsace hymalaica (photo 10).
It's great to have a tufagarden.

Two or three years back someone on the SRGC forum offered hybernuncula of Pinguicula grandiflora. It surprises me a little that I didn't kill them - anyway look what I have now...

I don't know how you can tell Trond. ;D It was available for sale here a few years ago, the true plant but not now that I can find and every attempt to bring in seed has resulted in the acquisition of yet another Stylophorum.
