The International Rock Gardener  reaches  its  120th issue, marking ten
years of this free magazine.

Begun in January 2010 (as an experiment for one year !) IRG has proven
to be a success. I little  thought, when the  idea for IRG was first 
discussed with  Zdeněk Zvolánek, J.Ian Young and  myself, that I would 
be  editing  it  for  ten years  - with  more  in sight!

The kindness and enthusiasm of our authors, who have so selflessly
shared their work with us, and the appreciation of our widespread
audience, who are also representative of our international ambitions are
the ones we must  thank for this achievement.

This anniversary edition contains descriptions  of  two new plants,
named for the “Watson  Girls” ( as I  have  been calling them); from
John and  Anita Flores  Watson; an introduction to the various cultivars
now available  of Fritillaria imperialis  from Willem Wietsma and Ronald
van den Berg, and a review of some delightful little geranium species
from Allan Robinson.

As the  IRG celebrates  ten years,  Ian Young's  Bulb Log has  now
completed its eighteenth year of  weekly diaries - so many bulbs, so
little  time!!

Best wishes  for the  coming  year!

Margaret Young
