Dryas seed head

Hmmmmm nice.

That's as pretty as any flower :)

Glad you have this too DD as its supposed not to flower outside Scotland?

I love this Dotty so delicate..........

Really Drc, not heard that before......thanks Milky, GM and Gee....

When I posted a pic of my Dryas octopetala or Mountain Avens this spring Moongrower said its the emblem of The Scottish Rock Garden Club and didnt know it grew outside Scotland DD.

Well we live and learn, will have to see what happens to it next year....

Makes lovely ground cover DD, mine covers an area about 3ft x 4ft now as I trim it to keep it tight.

It flowered this morning, have posted a pic, did not realize it grew that big, how long did it take to reach that size?

I have had it about 7 years. It took about 3 years to take off DD but I do trim it to keep it tight together. It forms a base of twigs underneath which are be quite a thick mat. Mine is in very poor gritty soil between paving and it grows right over them.I never feed or water it, and in the spring its covered in white and yellow flowers.

Good so I have some time before I have to move the poor wee plant then......

Yes you have but the more it grows the nicer it gets.

That is good to know.....

It always looks very impressive......:-)

Thanks Louis...
