I have bought Alpines from D’arcy & Everest usually at various shows, recently i have put a number of orders in via their on-line shop. I have been very pleased with the plants picked for me. I have & will be using their on-line shop again. Cheers Steve Sinnott.

Great plant though too attractive to squirrels. They kept pulling it out so I’ve left it in the pot for the moment
