This unusually shaped building creates the perfect conditions for alpine plants, those that need cool and dry conditions. June was a perfect time to visit because we saw lots of color inside.
Some visitors walked in and out quickly, maybe because the flowers don't have the "wow" factor that roses and waterlilies have, but treasures abound! Here's what specifically was blooming: saxifrages , everlastings, and Rhodohyposix (not sure what the common name is for that). Imagine my surprise when I find something familiar. Yes, that three-leaved plant is Jack-in-a-pulpit (Arisaema triphyllum), the same that grows in the Minnesota woods in my backyard!
