There was a certain, “I couldn’t have put it better myself” when I saw an article I wrote in the Alpine Garden Society’s Journal of June of this year. The quality of good paper, clear print, high-quality colour reproduction and excellent layout was far better than I could ever hope to replicate here on my home pages.
So, in a spirit of not allowing the flattery of somebody else’s work go to waste and of presenting a blog with little extra effort on my part, I am presenting the article again here – photographed and posted, as simple as that. For anybody interesting in growing alpine plants, of joining an active society with regional groups around the UK and Ireland, and of receiving a regular publication of the highest quality, do drop in to the society’s website at https://www.alpinegardensociety.net/
In the meantime:

Totally fabulous! Well done.

I learned a lot from that article….native origins of the plants, their distribution among gardeners, the conditions in which they thrive and, of course the illustrations. Chapeau!

The native species here on Vancouver Island is Trillium ovatum. I gather there is a dwarf form with pale pink flowers called T. ovatum forma hibbersonii or just T. hibbersonii. I haven’t seen that one, but the white T. ovatum is quite common in wooded areas around Victoria. I don’t have it in my garden, however; it’s too dry here.
