Alpines in April

Visitor's picture

Lets see if the forum lets me post photos now... gave up after a while on my last visit- got some funny error message and was referred to some 3rd party policing agency which I never heard back from...

 

Only a few rock gardens are (almost) fully  out of the snow, and those were largely shovelled!- others showing some peaks, with a bit of fresh snow yesterday/today, and maybe some more over the next couple of days...

I'll just try one photo to start to see if I'm allowed...

Sedum spathuligolium Cape Blanco according to the tag- garden centre plant from last year- though it seems a bit too strongly coloured for that clone? I think there is another name for the really purple forms.. anyway, I wasn't at all sure it would be hardy, but it is looking good so far, though sometimes spring is as dangerous as winter.
