June 2012 in the Northern Hemisphere

[WimB]

Wim,
suberp plants und pictures. I think the Dianthus is D. haematocalyx ssp. pindicola

Thanks, Franz. I got the seeds from which I germinated this plant as such, but someone told me it was probably a hybrid...whatever it is, it's quite nice!

[Tim Ingram]

Thanks Wim. I've looked it up in The Plantfinder and just a few nurseries list it. It's always nice to find small and different shrublets for the alpine garden.

Very nice plants, Michael. That Geranium looks so very fragile...wonderful!

Here som plants blooming in the garden, I lost the label of the last blue delphinium. It is a little one, from last SRGC seed list, maybe it is any species from China?

    Alyssum minus
    Molucella spinosa
    Delphinium requienii
    Delphinium sp SRGC
    Dianthus hyssopifolius

I really like that Dianthus, Rafa!
very special,
cheers
