I am totally impressed! Tom has emailed me that they have “a bunch of plants for me”….I can hardly wait! A few years ago, I gave them a start of Silky Rock Jasmine, androsace prim.”chubyi” A beautiful low growing purple flower. In my garden it became crowded out and died. Their start has flourished and I am so happy to be getting a start in return. What is the saying, something like: He who gives a flower keeps some of the fragrance….if you know the saying please let me know how it goes. Here, I found a picture of the Silky Rock Jasmine:
The Rock Jasmine is the chubbier purple plant.
All great plants, I have some growing in my garden and love them. Your friend has a wonderful garden.
ReplyDeleteOh gosh, this post is full of ideas for the new part-shade, edge-of-the-woods garden that I'm starting on this summer. Thanks for all the inspiration. -Jean
ReplyDeleteDear Gloria, This is indeed a horticultural jewel box packed with the most desirable, and lovely, of plants. I do not think that there is a single thing here which I should not find a space for. Absolutely wonderful. And as for that tiny Clematis - exquisite. Perhaps of all the Clematis, I return over and over again to the species.
ReplyDeleteI especially like that rock jasmine. All of the plants look wonderful and unusual.

ReplyDeleteHi Carol - I think it was Tom who took the pictures. They do put them plants together in a most beautiful way
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of plants, and how wonderful that you'll be able to get some of the Silky Rock Jasmine back from the plants you passed along!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the Silky Rock Jasmine! I do love visits to different gardens and it is nice to see what grows at higher altitudes.
