15503 Arenaria hookeri			$5.00
	3" x 6"	W North America	Zone 3
With a dense flattened pincushion habit & a very slow growth rate, this makes a great long-lived trough & container plant; it is widely distributed in the drier parts of the American West & is always a delight to come across; in early spring, large white blooms float just above the cushion; impervious to cold but sensitive to overwatering & too much fertilizer, so grow lean & mean for the best dwarf habit; from wild seed - windswept gravelly subalpine slopes below Dead Indian Pass in NW Wyoming.
17198 Arenaria pseudoacantholimon			$6.00
	2" x 4"	Turkey	Zone 3
This appropriately-named alpine Sandwort forms small very spiny cushions much like the hedgehogs of Acantholimon that share its dry limestone screes on Mt.

ASTRAGALUS - Milk Vetch			Fabaceae Family
15597 Astragalus ?hyalinus			$6.00
	2" x 6"	W USA	Zone 3
Along the Western edge of the Bighorn Mts of NC Wyoming you'll find this miniature silver Astragalus forming silver dollars in the red clay & fine limestone gravels of the roadside ditches; I've always assumed it was Astragalu hyalinus & it most likely is but A. aretioides is also lurking about in the area so I suppose it could also be that superb little pea; either way, what you'll get is a miniature flat cushion with virtually snow-white foliage; the tiny pinnate leaves curl in on themselves under the assault of the summer sun & become hardened & leathery; in late spring, tiny blooms open at the base of the very short stems & peak out all over the plant; unfortunately I haven't seen them in bloom so I can't say what color they are (white/creamy if its hyalinus; vivid rose-purple if aretioides); frankly for our personal purposes, it doesn't really matter which species it is as the foliage is the thing - makes a wonderful contrast to the dark stone of our retaining walls!
15591 Astragalus gilviflorus			$5.00
	3" x 6"	W USA	Zone 3
Beautiful trifoliate silver foliage forms high domed cushions; lots of creamy white blooms with purple keels are tucked down tight to the leaf bases; these flowers appear early in the year, before the foliage is fully developed, so they are effective despite their small size & pale coloration; from wild seed - gravelly flats, Eastern foothills, Beartooths, Wy.

	2" x 8"	Patagonia	Zone 3
Low hard mats of glossy tripartite leathery leaves; slow-growing foliage plant that will eventually form domed cushions; in nature, these can span a meter or more & with age become so imbricated & hard, they can even withstand the weight of clumsy plant hunters without apparent damage.
BARBAREA			Brassicaceae Family
17317 Barbarea rupicola			$5.00

A showy & attractive western bulb with large open umbels of rich purple-blue starry blooms in early summer; this collection from wild seed - Long Gulch, Central Sierra Nevada, California.

	12" x 12"		Zone 4
A very slow, compact form of Boxwood well suited for use in bonsai, model-railroad landscapes, etc; even if left unpruned, the tiny leaves & the dense twiggy growth habit will combine to produce an appealing ball of rich deep green.
06697 Buxus microphylla v. koreana 'Nana'			$6.00
	6" x 6"	Garden selection	Zone 4
Neat little bushlets with tiny leathery deep green leaves; the new foliage is bright Irish green & provides a striking contrast to the older bronzed foliage; very, very slow-growing & as such, ideally suited to miniature landscapes; our five year old stock plants have yet to outgrow a 4" pot.

Slow growing somewhat columnar dwarf Boxwood with fresh apple-green spring foliage that by autumn, becomes a rich lustrous deep green. Just a few on offer this autumn.
04414 Buxus rugosa v. prostrata			$6.00
	3" x 8"	Yunnan	Zone 3
A small creeping Boxwood from Yunnan with deep green leathery foliage on short sprawling stems; a slow-growing gem & our first offering of what will no doubt become a popular miniature shrub for trough or rock garden.

A new Calandrinia from Patagonia with the typical fleshy small strap-shaped leaves forming a low rosette; bright yellow blooms appear in late spring & continue on into summer; these Lewisia relatives from South America display some of the most vividly colored blooms to be found in rock garden plants & deserve much wider trial to establish their full winter hardiness; all share a common requirement for excellent drainage especially around their rubbery root crowns.

01222 Calceolaria uniflora			$6.00
	3" x 6"	South America	Zone 6
A classic plant for every collector of the world's rare plant gems, this is the Slipper Flower from South America that produces rather strange pouchy blooms with the huge angular lower 'jaw' ; the shape is odd enough but add the broad swathe of rich orange/brown smeared across the yellow background & the bright white horizontal stripe & you really have to see these flowers to believe them; hard to imagine what pollinating insect this sort of pattern attracts!; unlikely to be hardy outdoors anywhere outside coastal climates but well worth having a go in a container planting.
CALYPTRIDIUM - Pussy-paws			Portulacaceae Family
16725 Calyptridium umbellatum v. caudiciferum			$5.00
	1" x 3"	California	Zone 3
Tiny alpine form of 'pussy-paws' from high elevation in the Sierra Nevada, California; the flat dark green cushions are formed of an overlapping series of small spatulate leaves laid dead flat on the talus surface; the crinkled texture of the foliage is very appealing & distinctive; in summer, short stems bear small soft pompoms of pink to rose; a charming miniature & one you should try even if you are growing one or more of the more typical larger variants found in other parts of its extensive range.

17103 Campanula aff. bayerniana			$6.00
	3" x 6"	Turkey	Zone 3
A dwarf species with short procumbent stems of pale grey-green soft foliage; beautiful blue funnel-shaped blooms are borne in early summer; this is a very choice crevice-dwelling species from the Aras Mts. of extreme eastern Turkey & this is our first offering of it; though this collection comes from crevices in conglomerate rock, it would most likely grow superbly well wedged in a tufa crevice.

	6" x 12"	W Himalaya	Zone 3
Attractive finely-felted silver-grey foliage builds to form rounded clumps topped with clusters of clear sky-blue bellflowers throughout summer & well on into autumn; the combination of lovely foliage & months-long procession of bloom make for a top quality rock plant; I find it particularly appealing when sited so it can dangle from a sunny crevice in tufa or other limestone rock; I've read that it tends to be short-lived but our stock plants are now five years old & along with the plentiful seedlings that arise each spring, pretty much fill the small hypertufa trough they started out in; one of our favorite Bellflowers.
13496 Campanula elatines			$6.00
	8" x 10"	Italy	Zone 3
A beautiful tufted species of Bellflower from vertical limestone rocks in the NW Italian Alps; long-stalked leaves have undulate, coarsely-toothed margins; short spreading stems hug the rock & bear wide-spreading starry blue blooms in the leaf axils all along the stems; prefers a cool, lightly-shaded environment.
