Thanks, Dave! Looks like it
Sun, 07/06/2014 - 5:05pmThanks, Dave! Looks like it's just you and me here these days. The thought of winter... even one of your winters ;-) ... gives me the heebie-jeebies! I'm delighted to revel in summertime, even with the hail a few minutes ago (well, it was just pea-size and falling gently for hail... horribly reminiscent, now that I think about it, of snowflakes).
A few more... Saponaria x suendermannii; Astragalus angustifolius; Carduncellus pinnatus; Goniolimon speciosa; Gentiana siphonantha:

I'm here, just too busy to post pictures -- but am enjoying yours and Dave's immensely. Thanks for posting!

I am glad at least one person
Sun, 07/13/2014 - 10:39amI am glad at least one person try to keep this forum alive! .. and with a lot of wish-I-had-plants as well!
I have been a bit busy and lazy (yes both) these weeks so I haven't contributed much.

Trond's right about the "like
Mon, 07/28/2014 - 12:09pmTrond's right about the "like to have" plants, Lori - and your garden with tufa and crevice beds is enviable as well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice pix. I like seeing
Thu, 07/24/2014 - 5:55pmNice pix. I like seeing things I don't know/grow. Gets my curiosity up; encourages me to look for seed to try. Thanks for posting them.

Grown from seed labeled
Fri, 08/01/2014 - 6:03pmGrown from seed labeled Allium zebdanense, it looks and acts a lot like it but apparently is not. Unlike A. zebdanense, this batch of seedlings likes to send up new growth in the fall, after summer dormancy. Still, they have earned a place in my garden, since they thrive in the driest shady places.
July 17 and July 26
Another onion from NARGS seed: Allium carinatum ssp. pulchellum, I hope..... first bloom. I'll post better picks when the flowers fully open.
Echinocereus viridiflorus and E. triglochidiatus - 3 year seedlings.
Opuntia fragilis. This one grown from a pad taken last season from a particularly floriferous specimen near Granite Falls, Minnesota. O. fragilis rarely blooms in the first place, so this may be a great find. It grew one new pad this spring and a bird pecked a hole in the top. I expect that is what prompted it to bush out. A fortuitous happenstance in retrospect. It's such a cutie: the pot is only 3.25 inches.
Phemeranthus calycinus is a welcome volunteer. I gets all over in my pot menagerie.
Maybe someone can help me with this one's identification. It's a small Phemeranthus, and not nearly as showy, but fits better in alpine troughs. This one is in a 12 inch wide bonsai pot.

You had me a bit confused
Sat, 08/02/2014 - 3:28amYou had me a bit confused with "Phemeranthus" - I'm used to Talinum calycinum It's a dainty thing but still noticeable. I think it's great fun to have such "volunteers" around your pots.
And the little Opuntia is certainly cute - that pot might have been 15 inches across for all we knew. Growing well for you!
