Pheeewwweee! What a list. A lot of good plants described. Wish I could have been
there.
I have most of your list here in the garden, but notice one plant that caught
my attention. I am into the summer blooming gentiana. You mentioned Gentiana
hexafari. Can you remember much about this one from his slide or description? New
to me and I would be interested in his words of wisdom.
Wonderful nursery. Used to order from them before they dropped mail order.

Hi everyone!
I got to hear Harvey Buchite, co-owner of Rice Creek Gardens in zone 4a, speak at
the Rock Garden banquet Saturday night. He showed 138 slides of wonderful plants
in his presentation "The Glory of Spring and Rock Gardens". He started with the
woodland in springtime, one of my favorite places to be and to garden. I'll just
mention a couple of the beauties and what he said about them.....
lots of snips.........
and many others...Primula hybrids, Haquetia epipactus, Trilliums, mossy
saxifragas, phlox, Aetrionema, Androsace mucronata and A. sar. chumbyi, Arabis
albida, Silene maritima rosea, Adonis vernalis, Geraniums, Gentiana hexafarii and
G. acaulis, Rosulara sp, Pulsatilla apifolia and P. vulgaris, Genista pillosa,
Anemonella thalictroides, Hepatica nobilus, and more!
