Corner of my alpine house

Would be a real treat to be in there Brian.

Brian-this is more like what the Kew alpine house should look like.

Thanks Phil I will take another shot in the other house where the primulas are. Are you showing this weekend is it Kent ?

Lovely picture Brian - the pot of Hepaticas in the bottom corner look very healthy are they due to flower or are they seedlings?

I've entered 7 classes,more to take part than expectation of success.
Mostly Primulas,which I'm hoping will be nice plants,just not up to size yet.
What are the 2 iris'.

Phil one is Attica the other a Juno Iris the easy one

Jane I have two pots of that Hepatica Japonica and this is the second year out of three the leaves have outgrow the flowers and you cannot see them,have made a couple of enquires and seems our hot cold weather could be to blame ,am not totally convinced or very happy with them,they were re potted late last summer and wonder if the compost is to rich.I need to know.

Such array of colour little beauties.

I have some Juno's coming on from seed,a blue one,not difficult.Will send a couple later in the year.

Phil .look forward to it

I used to grow the yellow juno outdoors in my first garden. I got away with an awful lot there because we were on a steep hill so drainage was perfect. I had a huge Hoheria sextylosa in the corner of my back garden which was a beautiful sight in July. But theres no way you could grow that outdoors here in most places.
