关于网站
alpinky.com 由 1985 年生于捷克 Chrudim 的园艺爱好者 Michal Plíšek 个人维护, 专门记录他多年来在高海拔球根花卉、高山植物、森林地被植物与针叶树 witches’ brooms 嫁接品种方面的栽培心得与照片积累。网站的中心是一座位于 Chrudim 海拔约 220 米的私人花园 (夏季阳光强烈的小城环境), 园艺条件在捷克半干旱低海拔一类城市中相当具有代表性。整体风格偏向可读性强的图文日记, 而非商业目录; 总共 392 个物种的栽培档案按字母 A 至 Z 索引, 同时按属性归类 (高山植物 / 球根 / 森林植物 / 嫁接类 / 瑞香属 / 虎耳草)。
收藏与专长
覆盖范围以稀有冷凉栽培种为主, 包括 Dionysia (亚洲高山濒危类群)、Saxifraga 下的 Kabschia 与 Porphyrion 两大高山亚组、Androsace (点地梅属)、Primula allionii 系列、Galanthus (雪花莲属) 多个白花变种、Crocus 与 Colchicum 的近东与南欧类群、Tulipa (郁金香属) 的野生种、Fritillaria (贝母属)、Arum (天南星科)、Sternbergia (黄水仙近缘)、Cyclamen (仙客来属) 等十一个以上分类。母球根画廊常年补充, 注明每个种在 Chrudim 低海拔环境下的表现, 例如耐夏季高温或对冬季低温的适应。森林地被植物一栏列出适合落叶林下生境的小型多年生, 如 Speirantha convallarioides、Aceriphyllum rossii 与少量 Cypripedium parviflorum 等, 是网站少有的地生兰条目。
家族花园与营造
现址花园的主体由外祖父 František Plíšek 几十年前购入并开始堆砌石山; 作者接手后向整个院落扩建, 累计运入超过 100 吨石材, 包括 opuka (捷克白垩石灰岩) 替换为 dolomitic limestone 适合高山植物的石灰岩、整体已开辟的多个园区: Stará přední skalka (老前山石山, 含小池塘)、Nová přední skalka (2010 年建造的石灰岩新前山, 重 10 吨以上)、Zadní hlavní skalka (后主山, 2000 年动工, 现面积超过 100 平方米, 含四个不同尺寸的池塘, 已使用石材超过 70 吨)、专供 Dionysia 等极难栽培种的覆盖式石山 (建于 2010 年, 仿照野外石崖下的微湿环境), 以及面向北墙的种质收藏区 (主藏 Saxifraga Porphyrion 亚组) 和 2012 年起增设的石灰华石槽。
个人命名品种与野外采集
网站另一项独到之处是作者亲自在野外发现并独立命名的多个 witches’ brooms (针叶与阔叶树上的矮化变异枝, 经嫁接后成为盆景或岩山园艺珍品), 全部以 Plíšek 或其发现地命名, 包括 Pinus strobus ‘Plíšek’ (2015 年于 Chrudim 农学院大门附近发现, 距地约 6 米) 、Fagus sylvatica ‘Plíšek’ (2003 年在 Krkanka 山谷小村 Slavice 上方发现) 、Picea abies ‘Plíšek’ (2008 年 Chrudim 附近 Báry 瞭望塔旁发现, 自称可能是已知最小云杉 witch)、Larix decidua ‘Plíšek’ (2012 年 Ustupkách u Seče 发现, 自称世界最小型落叶松之一) 、Picea omorika ‘Plíšek’ (2015 年 Chrudim 主公园) 与 Picea abies ‘Plíškova Seč’ (2010 年 Petříkovice 与 Liboměřice 之间的蛇曲山路发现, 是已知比 P.a. ‘Wichtel’ 与 P.a. ‘Cukrák’ 还要小的个体)。另有赴马其顿、克罗地亚等东南欧山区野外采集记录。
Horní Bradle 自然保护区
2017 年起, 作者在 Horní Bradle 一块通过土地归还程序获得的地块上, 单独建立了一座私人自然保护区, 与 Chrudim 本部花园并列作为高山植物与嫁接类品种的扩展保育场地; 除此之外, 网站另辟 clanky (文章) 与 ročníky (年度回顾) 两个系列, 记录 2008 至 2013 年以来的栽培笔记、试验报告, 以及关于 radon 含量等小专题试验。
About the Site
alpinky.com is a personal gardening diary maintained by Czech horticulturist Michal Plíšek (born 1985 in Chrudim), focused on cool-climate bulbous plants, alpine species, woodland perennials, and grafted conifer witches’ brooms grown at his private garden in Chrudim, Czechia, at roughly 220 m elevation in a hot-summer lowland setting. The site catalogs 392 species in an A-to-Z gallery, organizes notes by growing conditions (alpine, bulb, woodland, grafted, daphne, saxifrage), and includes extensive personal observation on each entry rather than acting as a commercial catalog.
Collection and Specialisms
The collection covers more than eleven genera of cool-temperate rarities: Dionysia, Saxifraga (sections Kabschia and Porphyrion in particular), Androsace, Primula allionii cultivars, Galanthus (snowdrops, including named forms such as ‘Lady Elphinstone’ and ‘Mr Plisek’), Crocus, Colchicum, Sternbergia, Tulipa species, Fritillaria, Arum, Cyclamen, plus a woodland section with Speirantha convallarioides, Aceriphyllum rossii and a few Cypripedium parviflorum seedlings. Each entry records how the plant performs in the Chrudim lowland summers, which differs from higher-altitude garden conditions.
Family Garden and Construction
The garden was established decades ago by the author’s grandfather František Plíšek and has since been expanded with more than 100 tonnes of stone delivered in stages. The site now includes several distinct features: the original front rockery with its small pond (now being rebuilt with dolomitic limestone in place of the original opuka), a 2010 limestone front rockery weighing over ten tonnes, a rear main rockery begun in 2000 that has reached more than 100 m² with four ponds and 70+ tonnes of stone, a covered rockery built in 2010 to provide stable humidity for Dionysia and Primula allionii (mimicking their natural cliff-overhang habitat), a north-facing collection area hosting the Porphyrion saxifrages, and tufa troughs added in 2012.
Named Cultivars and Field Collection
A distinctive feature of the site is the author’s self-collected and named witches’ broom cultivars, most published under the Plíšek name: Pinus strobus ‘Plíšek’ (found in 2015 near the main gate of the agricultural school in Chrudim at six metres up), Fagus sylvatica ‘Plíšek’ (found in 2003 above the Krkanka valley near Slavice and lifted in 2015), Picea abies ‘Plíšek’ (found in 2008 near the Báry lookout, claimed as one of the smallest spruce witches’ brooms known), Larix decidua ‘Plíšek’ (found in 2012 at Ustupky near Seč, claimed among the smallest larch witches’ brooms in the world), Picea omorika ‘Plíšek’ (found in 2015 in Chrudim’s main park) and Picea abies ‘Plíškova Seč’ (found in 2010 on the hairpins between Petříkovice and Liboměřice, reported as even smaller than P.a. ‘Wichtel’ or P.a. ‘Cukrák’). The site also documents collecting trips to Macedonia and Croatia.
Horní Bradle Nature Reserve
Since 2017 the author runs a separate private nature reserve on restored land in Horní Bradle, complementing the Chrudim home garden as an additional site for the alpines and grafted brooms. The site also publishes a clanky (articles) section with notes from 2008 to 2013 plus topic studies (radon in garden soils, grafting technique, saxifrage cultivation) and an annual review series.
