The Alpine House construction was completed last year, so the planting really is in its first year and has survived one winter.
XPHome Every now and then the screen/toolbar freezes, but in an odd fashion, hard to describe. The mouse pointer will move, but nothing happens...

If it sets seeds and it looks as if it should, sow then straight away and you will have lots of plants (and maybe different colours). They flower...
