I love to see pictures where the leaves can be seen. So many of the show plants in England are full of flowers but you cannot identify them by the leaves. Cliff’s pictures is really clear and one could easily identify it if they had not seen it before. Shirley Friberg NARGS -MN

or understand the significance in that method of planting. I would love to have one at our arboretum, but I don't think it should be the major rock garden as it limits how a garden can be designed.
