John - I grew
Alstromeria pallida
outside for quite a few years and it was quite striking, short stemmed, rather stronger coloured than yours. I must hunt around to see if I have any old seed of it stored.
Maggi - I really like the idea of amassing information and photos of JJA collections. I have a lot that have come and gone in the garden (after all many were not the easiest of plants! I recall a whole lot of different bomareas). It would make a great tribute to one of finest plantsman, nurseryman, seed collector and speaker that any of us have been privileged to meet - and relatively unrecognised by the wider horticultural world. The main difficulty that I see would be in accurately assigning Jim's collection numbers to specific plants but this shouldn't be too hard to overcome with contributions from many gardeners who had seed and have kept those wonderful seedlists.

Yes, Tim, attribution of the proper collection numbers would be the best option but I think that even plants more loosely labelled as from JJA seed are of interest.
Of course, not all seed offered by Jim and Jenny was wild collected, and not all of it by themselves, but again, everything goes towards an
overall
picture of the contribution made to our gardens.
I am, naturally, collating all the photos in this Forum that are shown as being from the Archibalds to the picture listings.

A log garden in Meyers Chuck, Alaska (between Ketchikan and Wrangell).
The Lewisia was noticeable from a distance because of its bright colour.
The gardens are well cared for here, though there were no people around.
I think they are vacation homes, now that the fishing in the area has
deteriorated. There was one little greenhouse with cherry tomatoes ripe
already.

Maggy, only A. garaventae and also A. pallida which has bloomed today. I have to check the numbers. Probably Watson & Flores collections...

Thanks, Rafa. I thought they might be F&W collections from JJA.

Tomorow I will take pictures of A. pallida, this is a good project and a good tribute to Jim's work. He sent me an emotional letter few months before die that It touched me a lot. I didn't meet him in person, but I will remeber him forever as the generous Gentelman he was, and the important work he did for plant conservation.

Brian I collected this morning somes seeds of E. glandulosum for you. With my seeds you will have success
John, can we exchange seeds/roots of A. pallida? I would like to increase variability.

Fascinating pictures!
Rafa, your Alstroemerias are mouthwatering!
Actually I am only growing a distinct form of the species A. diluta (a Hans A. collection
) which flowered last month.

Hansi, it seems that this year I will have to take the big knife to make some division
A. lightu incarnata is from your seeds!

Sedum pilosum
... something I was first introduced to on this site; so glad they are hardy here!

:
Silene pusilla
:
Silene falcata
:
Aethionema glaucescens
... two plants with somewhat different forms:
Penstemon secundiflorus
:
Geranium phaeum

Lori
Your garden looks wonderful - bright and sunny with so may interesting plants - so pleased you popped back to post.
Our garden along with may others in this part of Europe is looking somewhat battered by heavy rain and wind.
