    The beauty winner of our yesterday visit was a Rehderodendron, Wendy already posted this remarkable tree.
    I want to post not so bright and beautiful but quite rare plants. At least I saw them first time in my life
    Alpine garden
    Syringa x laciniata or Cut-leaf lilac with fragrant flowers and finely textured foliage.
    I like this page about this plant. http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/go/55586/
    Syringa x laciniata,Nw.China (sw.Asia), 1AAS.JPG

    Leopoldia comosa or Muscari comosum or Tassel Hyacinth, my first guess about this plant was protea(Pincushion protea), now I can see some features of Muscari in this plant
    Leopoldia comosa=Muscari comosum,s-e Europe to Turkey,Iran.JPG

    Almost forgot. Vancouveria hexandra, I couldn't catch these flowers last spring and spring before and so on. I saw these tiny flowers on Internet only. There are flowers and unique leaves.
