Members seemed to really enjoy Graham's talk and bought some of the alpines he'd brought with him, and I got the feeling that he will have inspired those of us who haven't already got a rockery with alpines, to think about creating one! And those that have one already, may decide to add something new and exotic to liven it up a bit!
Some of the plants he brought are shown below. Graham actually showed us photos and also brought with him plants in really vibrant colours; vivid pinks, yellows and blues. but unfortunately only the white ones were around by the time I got to photographing them!
