That really is a lovely plant and if I had an Alpine bed I'd put that on the list of must haves

Also called Brandy Bottle because of the shape of the flowers and Devil's Claw, ditto. It is very hard to grow too.

Welcome to the board owdboggy - have you grown this alpine plant?

Yes, kept it alive for two years now and had 1 (one) flower on it each time. Will try and find a picture of the Farrer Medal winning plant from last year for you.
