Hello Everybody...i like alpines plants and i am french !

[Botanica]

Thank's frits.kp

Botany is a devouring exciting for me.
That is why I took the pseudonym Botanica.

I search many sympathetic people for seed exchange of perennials (essentially) and hardy plants that can withstand temperatures as low as -15 ° C ...if possible.

Actually i have Digitalis lanata ...nobody was interested to exchange some seed of this plants for example ?
I search most Digtialis species ..have you Digitalis obscura, digitalis ferruginea ..others ..?

My Digitalis lutea (i have some seed too for exchange)



Digitalis purpurea



Some alpines in my garden this year


Seed you later !

Perhaps better to go for "langlaufen", Sandy?

[Botanica]

Hello Maggi !

Yes why not   ....but I have never skiing in my life 

I prefered Mountains in the Spring or in the Summer because i could see flowers and animals , and it most easy and less dangerous (I think ! ) .

My name is Botanica not SnowBoy 



Have a good day !

[Botanica]

A newest season come true !

I make my seeding ..400 species of plants .

They're many seed sending by donator of this forum and exchange too.

I say "many thanks for all donator" , very nice peoples !

This is a real enormous work for me but it's cool to realize that.

I have 16 batch of 12 pots of seeding and i have some others too make !




In the Garden the life is coming.
