general alpine plant comments/questions here!
I'm going to take a chance here and assume, for the time being, that Epilobium latifolium (now Chamerion latifolium) is still a valid one to kick off this forum... ? (Since "Zauchneria" [lately renamed as Epilobium] is listed here as such, I think I'm on solid footing (?), but if not, moderators, please feel free to move or nuke this posting! :))
Is anyone growing Petrocoptis pyrenaica? I am curious about its cold tolerance. I grew Petrocoptis pyrenaica ssp glaucifolia recently, producing several plants, but with zero success at over-wintering. It is a beautiful thing that blooms in the first year from seed and constantly throughout the season, so it was not a total loss, but I'm wondering if it's worth trying again? If you have experience with it, I'd love to hear about it.
May I (as an English member) attempt to post the first image on this excellent new forum and wish NARGS every success with this wonderful 'alpine' venture?
