Feb. 10, 2011 When I started to tackle this project several days ago, seeing now the final result, I did not fully realize the scope of our collection! I am listing a modest representation of the alpine/rock garden plants that I think could be available. (Thanks to a photographic memory!) Do understand that once winter lifts off (as they are all buried under 2-3 feet of snow…) we will only then know which ones can be offered. In addition, we have approximately 150 semperviviums & sedums. It will not be possible to list ALL that we have. For the present time only some names will be listed. Descriptions for the alpines will get filled in, as time (and space) allows. For the time being, you need only to ‘Google Search’…Photos of Aquilegia canadensis nana…for a decent pic to come up. I have ‘sampled’ a number already, finding good results. So, my Alpine plant loving friends…Enjoy!

Prices for plants will vary, depending if a plant self-seeds gently or much human intervention is necessary, such as stem cutting, root cutting, a lengthy germination process or just a very slow grower OR very hard to find…rare! Prices will range from $3.00 to $9.00

37. Calceolaria biflora – (aka Slipper or Pouch Flower) Another South American native that I have managed to push the Zoning out the door on! Can’t keep it as a perennial, but will self seed and produce plants/flowers and seeds to keep the action going, within our summer! Deep buttercup yellowflrs. on long thin stems.

Self-seeds gently.
47. Cerastium tomentosum ‘Lantana’ – Green fuzzy mounds that in the early morning will glisten and sparkle, as if alive! Then come the huge white flowers which are just loaded on top! Next come the seed pods! If you trim them off while they are still green, you can keep this one in control real well. Charming cousin of our silver tongued “Chick Weed”.
48. Chaenorrhinum gloreosum – tiny snapdragon from Spain and Sierra Nevada. Chubby blue/purple flrs on deep blue/purple green foliage.
49. Chiastophyllum oppositifolium – (aka Golden Chains) Try saying this name real fast! Truth be told, its name is bigger than the plant. 6″ x 12″ Leaves are thick, ovate,serrated & light green.

52. Clematis species - a wild form collected on route to Flin Flon in 2008. Stems were only 4-6 feet long. Flowers appeared not present, but I believe them to be yellow. Found along the road way, growing in gravel in fairly tight mounds. Sooo grow lean!
53. Clementsia rhodantha – (aka Sedum rhodantha, Queen’s Crown) From Colorado. Comes up like a multitude of miniature red baby toes! Base is very long lived and woody. Each “toe” will eventually grow upwards, expanding as it proceeds to form soft green stems, affixed with a crown of dark rose red buds that burst forth with rose stars. Grows slowly.
