[Alpine-l] Terrestrial Orchids in The International Rock Gardener
Hi folks, A contribution from an 'alpine' enthusiast. We regularly hike in the alpine zone of a number of mountain ranges. Whilst we are fortunate to see gentians, saxifrages, androsaces, thlaspis, primulas, soldanellas and all manner of beautiful montane species in these stunning locations, we also see countless species of hardy orchids inhabiting these upland meadows and boulder fields - why should these 'hardy' low-growing perennials be classified as something other than 'alpine' species? Surely they have more claim to this label than many of the less hardy, less 'alpine' species now being grown in troughs, screes, rock gardens and alpine houses? Kindest regards to all, Cliff Booker Whitworth, Rochdale, Lancashire. UK. ___ Alpine-l mailing list Alpine-l@science.uu.nl http://mailman.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/alpine-l

The good news is we made it through another year, albeit a crazier one than normal, so less ‘free’ time and fewer pictures taken. The bad news is that the virus introduced here by Panayoti Kelaidis 6 or 7 years ago has continued to spread. 5 areas of the garden have now been infected, meaning that they have had to be turned over to the cultivation of hardy cacti, agaves, succulents and other ‘xeric’ plants. Actually, I had grown weary of doing battle with various aril and Juno irises so it really wasn’t that hard a decision to turn their quarters over to the expanding collection of cacti. Despite their beauty the irises took up a lot of real estate, and were rewarding for a very fleeting period every year. Their homes were tailor made for the cacti, which not only have spectacular flowers, they offer year-round interest with their amazing forms and spines of many shapes and colors. For a few pictures see http://tinyurl.com/bbx9asu and http://tinyurl.com/bfdrv3v. Perfect drainage and dryness at the roots in winter is at least as important as protection from the cold. Three of the ‘cactus patches’ are unprotected year-round; the one in front of the porch has 8’ x 4’ polycarbonate covers from early December to the end of February, and the long bed down the south side of the house has polycarbonate covers over the same period, and a wrapping of frost blanket during January and February. The blanket provides about 10F of protection and really works, providing a home for the more borderline temperature hardy plants. There are hundreds of species and forms/selections that will grow very happily in these conditions, including many that I doubt have ever been seriously attempted in this region. They are not trouble free (some die), they have their own likes and dislikes that need learning, and they certainly fight back, but they are so rewarding. Best of all, you can only get one or two rare Oncocyclus irises for a hundred dollars but you can get about 20 cacti! I’ve also started growing a number from seed, and that is also fun once you learn a few tricks, including how not to sunburn them. Other treasures, such as Asphodelus acaulis, love the same conditions and have been outside without protection for 3 years now (http://tinyurl.com/acawvlf). Nananthus transvaalensis is one of my favorite succulents (http://tinyurl.com/aqtlyyb). Superb cactus and succulent suppliers include Beaver Creek Greenhouses (Roger Barlow; http://www.rockgardenplants.com), Miles’ to Go (http://www.miles2go.com/), Sunscapes (Bill Adams; http://www.sunscapes.net/) and Mesa Garden (www.mesagarden.com/). High Country Gardens was also great but has sadly just closed. Some other nice combinations this past year were Gazania linearis self-seeding into Delospermas (http://tinyurl.com/bggnxt4), and back-lit Iris albicans and Pulsatillas in seed (http://tinyurl.com/aunehpc). Edgeworthia chrysantha in several forms (http://tinyurl.com/ahtw9s6) continues to be the best shrub in the whole garden and Epimedium Domino in the same link is one of Darrell Probst’s very best introductions. The ‘orange’ form of Claytonia virginica is stunning(http://tinyurl.com/b2kfefm) and I’m happy to say it is self-sowing all over. Galanthus reginae olgae Fotini is amazing and happily seems to be doing well (http://tinyurl.com/bjjjqpc).

Alpine-L Image Note (3539) 2-shows Miniature garden close-up From: Cliff Booker eMail: bookcli...@aol.com Name: 2-shows Miniature garden close-up Note: Firstly, please let me clear something up straight away, though I have (in the past) created a number of miniature gardens for exhibition at AGS Shows, these two examples illustrated here are not my creations!!! There are a small number of exhibitors who take their creations to the national shows and the same mini-gardens appear at quite a number of events. They are all semi-permanent plantings (please see my full response to Michael's query above). Plants establish themselves better if they are young and tiny. Holes are drilled in the tufa and the bare (washed) roots are introduced at the same time as a modicum of gritty, sandy compost. I have searched the files and discovered these three links that will illustrate many other gardens and how they were created. There are at least three pages of information on each of these links courtesy of the SRGC and the AGS. I hope these will assist all you budding miniature gardeners?

Re: [Alpine-l] Alpine-L Image Note (3539) 2-shows Miniature garden close-up
A lovely instant trough, Barbara - well done. Not, of course, a miniature garden in the true sense, as the intention was temporary and instant - the very best miniature gardens need to develop and mature to create the desired effect. They are more akin to bonsai gardens and I often think that small ancient trees, moss and even minuscule fungi could be used in these container enclosed gems.

[Alpine-l] Miniature Garden
Hi Shirley, The little pink plant is another androsace, but I can't say for certain which one. The illustrated tufa is probably built up with four or five long thin pieces that are jammed down into the pot and wedged with slivers of rock ... this construction is the most important part of the garden. I know that some people use cement to hold the tufa in place, but always under the level of the compost - weight is obviously a consideration. Planting is usually done once the construction is finished (drilling and establishment of tiny plants is quite easy when the base is rigid and solid). Hope these examples enthuse you all to create mini-gardens of your own. Please remember to post images of your creations on these pages. Cheers, Cliff Cliff Booker Whitworth, Lancashire.

Re: [Alpine-l] Alpine-L Gallery Image Upload (3539) 2-shows Miniature garden close-up
Dear Marcia et al, Firstly, please let me clear something up straight away, though I have (in the past) created a number of miniature gardens for exhibition at AGS Shows, these two examples illustrated here are not my creations!!! There are a small number of exhibitors who take their creations to the national shows and the same mini-gardens appear at quite a number of events. They are all semi-permanent plantings (please see my full response to Michael's query above). Plants establish themselves better if they are young and tiny. Holes are drilled in the tufa and the bare (washed) roots are introduced at the same time as a modicum of gritty, sandy compost. I have searched the files and discovered these three links that will illustrate many other gardens and how they were created. There are at least three pages of information on each of these links courtesy of the SRGC and the AGS. I hope these will assist all you budding miniature gardeners? Kind regards to you all, Cliff Booker Whitworth, Lancashire. UK.

Re: [Alpine-l] Rock Garden Designer
Hi Shirley, I am unaware of the predominant landscape features of MN Landscape Arboretum (natural hills, plains, water features, etc.), but one of the features that delight me in the Dolomites are the large basins that feature within the plateaus and screes; rocky dips that shelter plants from the very strong winds and provide shade and moisture in such barren areas. Rock gardens usually rise from their surroundings - it would be refreshing to come across a garden feature that one can only admire fully from it's rim.

Re: [Alpine-l] Rock Garden Designer
Dear fellow Alpine Elves, Surely this is a wonderful opportunity for innovation, for a new approach, for a design that flouts convention? We all marvel at the masterpieces of Halda, Jans and ZZ, but originality can be just as breathtaking. The University of MN Landscape Arboretum could be spoken of in the same breath as Gothenburg, Denver and Edinburgh and not just as another very pretty American garden that spent it's grant? - Cliff Booker In the paddy fields of the UK.
