Alpines at Kew

Beautiful. What wonderful blues in the last two flower pics. Did you feed the squirrel?

Love Alpines and the Davies House is well worth a visit.
Colourful images.

I remember my visit. Amazing ! Well worth the entrance fee at the main gate.

Very lovely. I thought the Cypripedium formosanum looked like a Trillium but googled to see it's an orchid.

Looks a good outing,can't say the tufa wall does much for me ,have seen several over the years probably the late Roy Elliott's was the best planting. have pictures of that.

lovely blog. I adore kew. I must make more of an effort to get down and visit it more often.

Lovely frits. Interesting Primula edelbergii.

Stera-there was a couple there as I walked by,who feed him regularly.He was up and down 3 or 4 times,taking a bit off and burying it,before settling down to feed.He didn't seem to mind that I was only a yard away.
Brian-lots of saxifrages,a few Primulas,Dionysias and Campanula and bits and pieces.Might look better with a bit of colour but looked bitty.
The alpine house was smaller than I thought from tv and magazines.This may sound odd,but I thought there is too much rock in it and not enough plants.

The plants are grown in another greenhouse over the wall, and brought into the Alpine House when in flower.

How lovely, wouldn't it be grand to have an alpine house like that, guess one can only dream..Thankyou for sharing...

Look a really lovely and interesting place to visit.

Love the tufa wall and alpine.
