Thought I'd share the latest alpines. This is Androsace sempervivoides.
Newfoundland alpines from June 12
Rhodiola rosea, a native Newfoundland alpine
Phlox subulata Appleblossom
Silene acaulis, in the corner of one of my troughs. This is another native alpine.
Tulip 'Little Beauty' (yes, my tulips are still open!)
Anthemis cretica
A small section of my rock garden
Thank you Todd! I didn't realize the silene acaulis were
native - is that to Newfoundland or N. America? Your
rock garden is very pretty. And you have an amazing
collection of plants.
Just beautiful, especially the overview. Rhodiola rosea certainly has a misleading name. I would expect a pink flower. Does the "rosea" in the name refer to the shape of the blooms?
Silene acaulis is one of my favorites. It's such a sweet plant. Mine is just starting to bloom, only three or four flowers so far, but I'm very proud of it because it was one of the soggy plants from Wrightmans.
The common name of Rhodiola rosea is Roseroot...I think you might be able to guess where the rose name comes from!
Tammy, Silene acaulis is native to the arctic areas and high mountains throughout the northern hemisphere. I've seen them high in the Rockies, Greenland and Newfoundland. I think they extend as far south in the east as the highest mountains in New Hampshire.
So different from anything I could even think of having but wonderful to look at .. thank you.
