I visited a couple of specialist alpine nurseries on Friday and came back with lots of plants :)
I wanted some new plants for a stone sink so that has been almost completely replanted and I have replaced some plants in my other sinks. I got a Salix myrtilloides Pink Tassels for the front corner. Arisarum proboscideum, Cassiope mertensiana, Armeria maritima rubra compacta, Primula pubsecens Joan Danger, Pulsatilla Papageno, Adonis brevistyla and Narcissus papyraceus.
I'll post pictures when it stops raining!
I also got some new species lilies. I am having a bit of a clear out of plants so I can put in new ones...
New plants
This is adonis brevistyla (still in a pot)
The newly planted sink, there are a few existing plants already in there such as lilium insigne, polygonatum hookeri and jeffersonia
Cassiope
Salix
