HRH the Queen Mother was our much-loved patron for many years so it is with great sadness that we mark the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, another supporter of nature and horticulture. Our condolences are sent to the Royal Family.

These very tiny Eranthis flowers are truly captivating!

This week's flower from Perthshire is the Alpine Gentian (Gentiana nivalis)! These solitary, pericing blue flowers atop a slender stem are among the gems of the highest peak in Perthshire hills, Ben Lawers. Only blooming in sunshine, Pic ©AndrewGagg #ScottishCountyFlowers

Understandable decision in the current situation - same one already taken by @ScottishRockGC for it's grants.

This will be disappointing for many but the Merlin Trust has made the decision to suspend all applications and awards until the autumn due to uncertainty regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. See our website for more information: merlin-trust.org.uk

Crevice troughs make a great home for all sorts of alpines & are good fun to make too -sure @AlpineGardenSoc will agree! @ScottishRockGC has more international crevice garden experts coming to work at @NTSInverewe in Sept. @kentonjseth @JuliaCorden #JacobMares #IanYoung

This afternoon we have been busy making crevice troughs. We are now itching to plant them! John’s garden @ashnurs @madaboutalpines
