Plant of the day - Arabis alpina caucasia "snowcap" rockcress

Pretty. I grew Arabis georgiana a few years ago but it was only a biennial and I never collected the seeds. I had to get special permits to have it since it's endangered here. It wasn't a mat forming plant though, just a rosette of leaves with little white flowers on a long stalk. Kind of unobtrusive but still very nice.

Thanks Laura :))))))))))))))))- cool info about this too - I may have forgotten about this and dug it out :(

What a pretty plant. Another one for the wishlist.

Thanks Gattina :)))))))))))))- scented too :))))))))))))))

I tried growing the ordinary, common-or-garden white arabis a couple of times, Paul, and you'd think a nice dry, sunny, slightly alkaline, rocky Italian garden would have it licking its lips, but no, twice it died from a lack of enthusiasm. This one looks worth another try.

should be okay with that - maybe this year :)))))))))))))))))))))))))

Maybe (:o)

:)))))))))))))))

i havn't grown this for a long time, i forgot about it :-)) thanks for the reminder Paul..

Cheers SL - thought I remembered seeing something like it on your pics - very nice aren't they :))))
