    I'm not really "into" alpines, but I'm quite pleased how this one has flowered this year.
    I cant remember the name, I know it was someting or other, Sarmentosa.
    But I though it looked good anyway.

    Very pretty - but as I am no good with names, can't provide the missing bits.

    I've just had a brainwave, think it could be androsace sarmentosa, but I think mine looks better than the ones I found on google. :D

    Sorry did not see this earlier. It is definitely Androsace sarmentosa. (better than mine too!)
