Pinus cembra 'Pygmaea' (European Heirloom, 1855) 2019 photo - Common Name: Dwarf Swiss stone pine, Size at 10 years: 2x1ft., thin, outspread to drooping Blue-green needles, USDA Hardiness Zone 3, In Garden Bed HR-S for 16.8 YEARS (HLG). Planted in 2003.
ACS: Pinus cembra 'Pygmaea' is a slow growing dwarf selection of Swiss Stone pine with a beehive-shaped, broadly conical structure, dense short branches, and very thin, outspread to drooping Blue-green needles that grow to uneven lengths. After 10 years, a mature specimen may reach 16 inches (40 cm) in height, implying a growth rate of 1 to 2 inches (2.5 - 5 cm) per year.
This is a very old cultivar in the nursery trade, being first recorded by Élie-Abel Carrière in 1855 and has been widely planted in European gardens. Its origin has been completely confused with that of the similar Pinus pumila 'Pygmaea.' In his book, Manual of Cultivated Conifers, Gerd Krüssmann suggests that the true cultivar may be lost to cultivation. The reader should note that the rather vigorous plant widely grown in North America may be a different cultivar entirely.

I am so lucky! One of my blog readers recently gifted me with this: a Diana Effner Little Darlings doll! She's so cute. I am tempted to customize her, but do I dare?! What if I ruin her?
This is me in my favorite sleeping bag on my sister's bed. I guarantee I probably begged for hours to sleep in their room and most likely had slave myself away to get in there. Either that or they were gone and my mom let me sleep in there. The idea of sleeping in the bag instead of the bed was probably my idea. I think I spent most of my childhood NOT in my sheets.
