Our Miniature Rock Gardens

We have had much snow and also some thaw and even sleety rain this week. The air is quite wet now, this can be seen on the rocks of the miniature rock gardens. These stones are dark grey now as used to be when they are wet, though they get no precipitation at all under the roof of the balcony. This is not too well for the alpines but I can't help it.




The drips are glittering on the foliage of the Draba polytricha:

The two flowers on the Draba imbricata are still holding theirs own, though a little anguished by the frost:
