Wonderful Nototriches!
C'est très intéressant ! J'adore les Perce-neige.
I so enjoyed this informative talk! Thank you 🙏
You are so welcome!
Asking myself why youtube bugging me with Alpine videos. Just out of interest, I clicked and glad that I have started watching. Please print out the names of the beautiful flowers. So beautiful to see plants in their native spots.

Have a brilliant time!
Great compact video. I’ll give it a go
Great! Feel free to ask any questions.
Incredible! Great to see it put so succinctly. I'm blessed to have Chris as my friend and next door neighbour, so I have been taught by the best and will be building a crevice garden pot of my own this fall! And I'll make sure to show it to him after I do it! :)
Share it with us as well, we'd love to see your crevice garden :)
really enjoy this talk, thank you so much
Whether you found primula allionii or not, that's a lovely selection of alpines. Well done 👍
Glad you enjoyed Oli's video
Very interesting. Perhaps in southern England we should begin to concentrate on Lesotho Alpines.
Hi John, could you please share the sources where you found the names for these flowers, especially Saussurea obvallata? I appreciate if you could through some light. TIA
