2017 Stonecrop Gardens Alpine Plant sale

Stonecrop Gardens

New Garden Additions
 Will live in a trough with another Gentiana.
 The Edelweiss will share accommodations with the Gentianas.
 Spring blooming Cyclamen Rhodium.
 This one should bloom in the fall, Cyclamen Hederifolium Ivy leaf.
The 2 Cyclamen will be underplantings in the Peony Garden, they don't take up much real estate or nutrients so shouldn't affect the Peonies. They will be planted in bottomless pots so their whereabouts can be tracked.

 Already have wild violets, but the speckled one caught my eye. No location planned for these yet.
Heather Calluna Firefly, colorful foliage in spring and fall and purple-pink late summer flowers. Destination Heather Garden.
 Dwarf Iris with light blue flowers.
Unsure if this will go in a trough or mix it up with the heathers.

Pit stop at Bear Mountain on the way back home.
View from Perkins Memorial atop Bear Mountain.

Light traffic both ways, left 7:30AM and arrived at the gardens just after 9AM, the parking field was already very full. Not sure how long I stayed, but I arrived home at 1:00PM.
