Turkey & the Aegean Islands, this lovely plant is unfortunately not reliably winter hardy in areas colder than about Zone 7; fortunately it does make a superb container plant where it will improve each year with larger, bolder leaves & a mass of stunning flowers; this particular selection features silvery foliage with a large pewter shield surrounded by a tracery of silver veins running through the deep green margin.

08475 Draba mollissima compacta			$6.00

15578 Erigeron sp.			$5.00
	1" x 3"	Wyoming	Zone 3
Dotting the short-cropped tundra of the Bighorn Mts, this mini-Erigeron has always appealed to me but somehow we never seem to collect any seed - fortunately we made a special effort in 2005; this little pixie forms tiny tufts of grey-green with blooms of pink or light purple with innumerable wire-thin rays & should add a bright touch to any mixed trough.

This abnormally dwarf form of the species fashions itself into tiny flat dollops of fuzzy white leaves decorated with nearly stemless golden poms of bloom in early summer; all forms of E. douglasii are to be treasured but this wee tike is surely the gem of the lot & is shortly to be published as a new variety, E. douglasii v. meridionale; from wild seed - ridges, Diamond Mts, Lassen Co, CA.

One of the most striking of all the densely pulvinate species of Eriogonum; this miniature cushion becomes silvery-white & hard to the touch after just a few years growth; the near stemless flowers in this form are cream-colored when young & age to shades of rust & red; this is an elite trough or crevice plant yet surprisingly easy to grow considering the severity of its native habitat; this collection from Millard County, Utah.

18372 Eritrichium howardii			$7.00
	2" x 4"	Wyoming	Zone 3
Often overshadowed by its famous cousin E. nanum, this gem from dry barren subalpine slopes in NW Wyoming deserves every effort to introduce into cultivation & unlike its kin, has actually proven to be growable in quite a few North American rock gardens! especially fine on tufa rock, it forms tight silver cushions of slim leaves & bears short racemes of thrilling clear sky blue blooms in early spring; there is quite simply nothing else like it!; from wild seed - subalpine hillsides of limestone gravel, Absaroka Mts, NW Wy.

Densest imaginable domes of miniature wooly grey-green leaves; deep clear blue yellow-eyed stemless blooms cover the domes of foliage in spring; THE classic alpine in European tradition & frustratingly difficult for rock gardeners in most regions to grow let alone bring to bloom; trough/tufa culture seems to offer the best chance of success though cultivators in Calgary & other cold, dry areas of Canada consider it rather easy & reliable so there is hope!; this collection is from high elevation tundra atop exposed mountains on the Beartooth Plateau of Montana & Wyoming - a wind scoured merciless environment where only the perfectly adapted survive; from wild seed - alpine tundra & fine consolidated limestone screes, Beartooth Plateau, Wy.
18363 Eritrichium nanum			$6.00
	.5" x 2"	Idaho	Zone 2
The same plant as our other collections from the Rocky Mts but in this case, the 'desert alpine' environment of Idaho's White Cloud Peaks has given rise to a form even smaller & more condensed; in particular, the flowering stems are shorter to the point that many plants had the blooms embedded down in the wooly cushion itself; collecting seed from these forms is of course an exercise in frustration so we have only a little seed to offer; I suspect this form will prove even more challenging than the somewhat more vigorous Rocky Mt collections but then again, perhaps not - other miniature alpines from this amazing area of endless sweeping screes including several Eriogonum, Synthyris & Phlox have all proved suprisingly growable in our lowland conditions.
