Not so many bulbs this month in the IRG e-magazine - but enough to tempt you, we hope! It is a pleasure this month to publish the description of a viola named for one of the greatly missed personalities of plant-hunting. This article, as the viola, is from South America, described by John Watson who fondly remembers his travels with Martyn Cheese in “days gone by”. It is exciting for us to publish such articles with open access to bring such knowledge to a wide audience and, we hope, a fitting memorial to John’s lost friend. Plus a renaming of another viola - with rather an odd twist! Kind thanks to all who take the time and trouble to contact the IRG team to give us your reaction to the magazine’s contents. These, and submissions of articles, are always welcome – by email, please, to editor@internationalrockgardener.net We look forward to hearing from you. Back to this issue – where Zdeněk Zvolánek introduces some plants from the Estonian garden of the charming gardener and traveller, Svetlana Polonskaja, and she herself comments on some of her favourite plants in her rock garden. To finish this month we have a report from Zdeněk Zvolánek about the Beauty Slope during a hot summer. Download and read the IRG 117 here : http://srgc.org.uk/logs/logdir/… Kind regards, M.
