For Mimpish Monday, there will be no Farreriana...

...it being a holiday and all.

I am finishing up my editing of Flower Show pictures -- finally! -- and leave you with a miniature rock garden of flowering plants, including several primulas. Come to think of it, primulas were a favorite plant of Reginald Farrer, so there's a touch of Farreriana, after all.



It is surrounded by a lot of bling, as well as a diagram and captioning for the varieties of wee plants contained therein:

1 - Primula x 'wharfdale butterfly'
2 - Arabis sturii
3 - Primula x 'hemswell blush'
4 - Primula allionii 'joan hughes'
5 - Dionysia aretioides
6 - Saxifraga longifolia
7 - Primula allionii 'anna griffith'
8 - Primula allionii 'maurice dryden'
9 - Sempervivum arachnoideum 'rubrum'

That's a lovely miniature garden. It makes meant to to try something similar.

There's an Andalusian branch of the Mediterranean Garden Society, looks like a bunch of anglos are involved as well as natives, so you might find some kindred spirits, if you wanted trough garden mentors. Probably would take a different flora for you, fewer primroses and more succulents.
