	12" x 8"	Norway	Zone 3
A wee Birch brought to the UK from Norway many years ago by W. Ingwersen; it is painfully slow-growing & thus ideal for troughs where it will eventually (after several decades) form a gnarled little tree all of a foot or so high; I would like to thank Rex Murfitt of Victoria, BC for sharing starts of this little treasure with us - Rex began his distinguished alpine career at Ingwersen's Nursery & has faithfully kept this important little piece of alpine history going all these many years!

	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.
03607 Buxus sp. - variegated form			$5.00
	16" x 24"	Garden selection	Zone 4
The deep green leathery foliage of this slow growing Boxwood is heavily variegated with pale cream margins; makes a striking, if not downright strident, hedge plant but is perhaps best suited for use as a distinctive specimen shrub or container plant.

17889 Campanula coriacea			$6.00
	8" x 6"	Turkey	Zone 3
A new jewel to grow alongside the other elite crevice-dwelling Turkish Bellflowers (C. betulifolia, choruhensis & troegerae); this newcomer forms attractive small tufts of thick hard silver-green foliage; unlike its close cousins, this bears its summertime bells in a rich shade of lilac-blue rather than the usual white & the blooms are carried atop taller branched stems; two others of this elegant group to watch for include Campanula finitima & Campanula seraglio - both pink-flowered, both gems; all of these crevice-dwelling bellflowers are outstanding plants for rock gardens everywhere & are especially fine when grown in & around tufa or other lime-rich rock.
17890 Campanula dolomitica			$5.00
	6" x 6"	Caucasus	Zone 3
Low foliage mounds are comprised of overlapping layers of rather sombre dark green leaves that are thick & heavily textured; above this foliage, short stiff stems arise bearing large yellow buds that pop open to reveal long bells of creamy-yellow - a distinctive color that is rare in dwarf Bellflowers; a distinctive beauty from alpine screes in the North Caucasus.
18051 Campanula kirpicznikovii			$5.00
	4" x 6"	Caucasus	Zone 3
Three or four years ago I first saw Eugeniy Tarasov's pictures of this splendid Caucasian bellflower & promptly added it to our 'must have' list; unfortunately it was unobtainable at the time but recently seed of it has been collected & distributed so we are pleased to finally be able to offer the plant; in its native habitat, it grows in crevices & on ledges of seemingly solid limestone rock; it forms low spreading tufts of dark toothed leaves & bears oversized creamy-yellow bells on short splaying stems; to keep it nicely compact & healthy, I would recommend planting in full sun in tufa or in a tight vertical crevice with a light, well-drained mix not too rich in nutrients; from wild seed - Central Caucasus.
17589 Campanula scabrella			$6.00
	3" x 6"	NW USA	Zone 3

17891 Campanula seraglio			$6.00
	3" x 8"	Turkey	Zone 3
The most recent of the great Turkish chasmophytic (cliff-dwelling) Bellflowers to come into cultivation; with its close ties to such rock garden wonders as C. troegerae, betulifolia & choruhensis it certainly merits our attention; the foliage is grey, thick & variably toothy - much like troegerae in this aspect; the blooms according to the Czech collectors are often pink but this collection from Serigol Dag has all bloomed in purest white; these are large & of desirable heavy substance with flaring recurved petals; this species seems very slow from seed - only a very few seedlings arose the second year after sowing with the majority not coming up until the third year.
17892 Campanula sosnowskyi			$6.00
	3" x 8"	Caucasus	Zone 3
Endemic to the Central Caucasus, this is a compact cushion-forming species with deep green leaves borne on long petioles; springing from the low tufts of foliage, long slender stems bear deeply-cut violet-blue bells in late spring & early summer; a new introduction from wild seed - limestone crevices, Kabardino Balkaria, N.Caucasus.

	20" x 30"		Zone 4

18110 Lophanthus chinensis			$5.00
	16" x 12"	Mongolia	Zone 3
A brand new introduction from the montane steppes of Mongolia, this is a vigorous mint-family member that forms clumps of crenate, deeply-veined leaves with a distinctive lemon/citrusy aroma; the large deep blue tubular blooms are borne in clusters terminating short stems that arise from each leaf axil; this useful arrangement means as long as the plant is growing, flowers will continue to form & thus ensures a long season of bloom from late summer well into autumn.
LUPINUS - Lupine			Fabaceae Family
17670 Lupinus albifrons v. collinus			$6.00
	6" x 12"	California	Zone 5
Beautiful dwarf Lupine with sparkling pure silver foliage & short stems bearing large violet-blue blooms; these choice silver Californian Lupines can be difficult in garden cultivation & this one may not be any easier; it has however performed very well in container culture here, flowering freely & branching widely to completely fill 10" clay pots in just one season; a simply gorgeous thing; from wild seed - shale slopes, High North Coast Ranges, Glenn Co, California.
17673 Lupinus excubitus v. austromontanus			$6.00
	6" x 12"	California	Zone 5
Beautiful dwarf alpine Lupine worth growing for its foliage effect alone; forms low mounds of sparkling silver leaves topped by short spikes of dark rose & purple fragrant flowers; native to gravelly slopes of decomposed granite so will demand a similarly sharply-drained site in cultivation; nutrient-poor too but with full exposure to bright sun & fresh winds; when well grown, a gorgeous rock garden plant!

14527 Maihueniopsis glomerata			$6.00
	3" x 10"	Argentina	Zone 7?
Forming hard low domed cushions, this is a truly beautiful Opuntia-like Cactus from the Jujuy region of Argentina; the grey-green stems are formed of oval joints with long broad wickedly-sharp spines; so far it has been fairly slow growing here but steadily the stems are slowly packing themselves together into tight formation & the resulting cushion seems likely to become nigh on impenetrable; somehow the buds manage to poke through the spiny phalanx as photos I've seen of the plant in habitat show generous bright yellow chalices opening just above the rusty glow of the spines.
14549 Maihueniopsis glomerata ssp. platyacantha			$6.00
	4" x 12"	Argentina	Zone 6?
Cushion-forming Cactus from high elevation (10,000') sites above Mendoza, Argentina; forms low mounds of congested stems laced with fierce wide spines; large yellow to orange blooms perch atop the cushion.

	2" x 4"	New Mexico	Zone 6?
A low flattened single-stemmed pincushion cactus from SW New Mexico & adjacent Arizona, this collection is from the dry Jarilla Mts. of New Mexico; the relatively few short spines do not obscure the beautiful pattern of spiralling tubercules; flowers are borne in rings just below the top of the low dome & large decorative red fruits follow the blooms; unfortunately I do not know the flower color on this specific collection yet but in other areas, the species blooms in various shades of cream & pink.
12474 Mammillaria meiacantha			$6.00
	2" x 4"	New Mexico	Zone 6
A ground-hugging fish-hook cactus with a flattened globular shape - the above ground portion of the stem often assumes a low domed habit making it hard to find in the field; the pronounced tubercules are an odd angular shape & this can easily be seen as the spination is rather sparse & short consisting of white radial spines & a single brown central; damaged stems exude a sticky white latex; pink blooms often feature a darker midstripe & open in spring to be followed by purple-red club-shaped fruits; this collection from Eddy County, SE New Mexico. In limited quantity.
