Calibroccoa - also known as Million Bells. It works very well in a low wide container, hanging baskets and even along the front of some flower beds. It flowers all summer. There is also a pink-flowered variety. |

Lewisia cotyledon is one of my favourite alpines. I have it planted near the south-facing foundation of a building that was erected on a built-up gravel pad so the drainage is excellent. It has bloomed well for me over several seasons. |

Lily 'Lollypop'. A truly gorgeous Asiatic lily. It is a prolific bloomer. The markings always make me want to smile. |

Martagon Lily. This is a very tall and spectacular lily. Unfortunately I was unable to find a name for it. |

Iris 'Ruffled Velvet' from Parkland Perennials. This is a gorgeous iris we saw during one of our visits to the gardens. It had almost finished blooming but I thought it was well worth a photo. |
