63 - AlpenPix (Garden) - 2006-12-20 (Dimension: 1151 x 901 pixels - Counter: 5025) Chionophila jamesii Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: 6-8 inches tall; creamy-white with a brownish fringe; likes full sun; will grow in lean soil but does best in a rich, moist but well-draining soil. Even with abundant moisture and slow-release organic fertilizer, I have not been able to duplicate the large leaf and flower size Klaus & I found in the exceptional, wild specimen photographed on the Continental Divide in Summit County, Colorado (Click on the picture to enlarge) |
