valleylynn said:Kate you just made my heart sing at the thought of this tiny new plant some day becoming a mass of pink blooms. I can't wait for next spring. This is a new plant for me.

Kate maybe you can answer my question. I have one called Androsacea draba. I am finding confusion on this plant, is it related to, or the same as, a Draba?

What other alpine plants do you have. We would love it if you could post photos of them.


Can't answer that one - I just do not know the answer. I have a half dozen sorts of creeping thymes, a spectacular creeping golden oregano, lovely rockery Campanulas (C. rotundifolia, C. cochleariifolia, C. poscharskyana, C. glomerata acaulis), some lovely small sedums (S. fosterianum 'Silver Stone', S. nevii 'Silver Frost', S. glaucophyllum), Hebe 'Karl Teschner' (supposedly not at all hardy here, but usually comes back and if it doesn't, it seeds all over the place), Gentiana septemfida var. lagodechiana (please do not ask me to pronounce some of these), Ajuga cristata (formerly a. ‘metallica crispa’). There is more,and I'd love to post pix, but am having trouble with the pix uploading tonight.
