    Very impressive Palustris.

    I have a friend that grows alpines so I have some idea of the time and commitment involved.

    You have a very good looking alpine house there.

    Roders. Building the Alpine House like that was featured in an article in the Bulletin of the Alpine Garden Society December 2005 No, 73.
    The nice thing about it is that it needs very little maintainance once it is set up.
