Alpine Gardening

@martin-f Thanks mate

I wish I had a strawberry pot. Lots of possibilities and ideas to be had. Going to have a look for a second hand pot.

Found the one which I wanted yesterday in my flowers folder....shud a gone to specsavers...Here it is:I have some new colors dl from a grower which are beautiful, I meant to buy them.Lewisia brighteyes Oranges are nice too.

Obviously a different species but these two pics are of an Echeveria, first one is growing in the garden, the second in a cold frame, (both fairly old plants), so no poor light problems.Having said that, @norakay s plant is obviously a different species, seem to remember having something...

Why I don't DRINK beer medear I'm a lady @Anthony Rogers ya

Ouch It was just a thought. It is rare, but there is seed that should not dry out or it will lose its viability.

My condolences but how lovely that you have the magnolia. I'm sure it will bring you years of joy and sweet memories.

That's it, Zigs. Wall Pennywort. It's only just started to throw a flower shoot. Thanks.

Thanks i will do that

Welcome to Gardeners Corner Rhana

I agree with that, I will only buy plants arrived that day or at a push 1 day old, in there Sunday and they had loads of dead and dying Fuchsias.

Kristen. The labels are for outdoor use. (Just seen your post now.) :(

Looking forward to following your project Trever.

Thanks again. The problem I have is finding a nursery that will deliver to the island and when I do they want to rob me for the postage. I'll go 'surfing', blimey, haven't used that word in a while and see what's out there.

So glad I got this painted yesterday as this morning its bucketing of rain .

Now all planted up just away now to plant up my alpine planters .

The only ones I have ever seen have been on the show bench and very definitely grown under cover.

whats your soil like? sandy? when did you plant them and when did they fade away?
