Wow, they are beautiful.  You are converting me to alpines.  I hadn't been very interested in them before but your photos and information have certainly caught my attention.  thank you.

Try Aberconwy Nursery, Keith Lever's place near to Bodnant Gardens for the first two. Slack Top Alpines in Slack Top near Hebden Bridge West Yorkshire, or go to Alpine Garden Society Shows and look on the nursery stalls and Members stall. Have fun looking for them!

The flowers are bigger than the plants themselves!  Gorgeous.
