Visiting Garden in June(Alpine garden)

I love to post what I saw first time. And this plant is the first and only plant Tecophilaeaceae family in my collection.
Odontostomum hartwegii


Second surprise was so many Dierama sp. from South Africa, some are new for me. Actually I cannot recognize difference in any of them
Dierama dracomontanum(small dragon),Dierama pauciflorum(few flowered), Dierama ambiguum(doubtful),Dierama adelphicum

 

Since Nadia has done small flowers in the Alpine Garden, I'll do that too, small flowers and fruits, but I'll start and end with no flowers.

This is Alchemilla alpina, which species I learned when someone posted it in the Plants ID forum. I was interested at the time to notice that it seems to pretty regularly have seven leaflets (or lobes? I should have looked more closely, but I'm reading that they're leaflets).


No flowers on the Azara microphylla either - these are already fruits.


We've posted flowers on the Nothofagus antarctica. Here are fruits. The third photo is N. antarctica 'Benmore'.


OK, flowers. Fabiana imbricata f. violacea.


Here are noticeable flowers, Genista tenera 'Golden Shower'.


And just as showy with no flowers, Taxus baccata 'Adpressa Variegata'.

 

Thanks, Nadia and Wendy!

Your photos are great---you have given me a garden visit, as you both so often do. Refreshing to look at these on this roasting midwestern afternoon.

I like those Dierama. Was interested to learn that they are members of the Iridaceae, and a common name is 'Angel's fishing rod'!
And how about that Fabiana---spectacular! Does it attract hummingbirds? Maybe butterflies/moths with appropriately long schnozzolae*?
