Hey old GB! Glad to see you! Miss your wonderful photos.
I have noticed a nearby chapter and even though I\'m not successful with alpines, I always meant to attend a meeting just to enjoy other gardeners and see what they are doing.

So, although I don\'t know where my picture is I\'m going to recommend a meadow rue, Kyushu, that lasted a few years until it was out competed as it is very tiny. I didn\'t have the right set up for it. Not real vigorous but I had it in a tough spot.

Then for the shady rock garden, maybe Doronicum, Little Leo. That has been a survivor for me.

Then you have your dwarf irises, too. Urban Star and Baltic Blue here.

Epimedium Lilafee had small leaves and doesn\'t spread.

And little daffs like Sun Disc which has nice thin strappy leaves and lives many years for me so far.
