Henrik has been ”Horticultural Curator for Alpines and Propagation” for almost 30 years at the renowned Göteborg botaniska trädgård in southern Sweden. He is a highly skilled, multi-talented promoter of alpine plants. He is also a
consummate gardener, as his progressive remodelling of the main rock garden there, and of the important, glass-protected collections, powerfully attests. His very broad expertise encompasses such genera as Colchicum, Corydalis, Crocus, Iris, Tulipa, and Dionysia. He is mesmerizing, diverting lecturer of international standing. As an author he has written various articles for this and other specialist societies, together with the ASG publication “Corydalis” (1977) in collaboration with Magnus Lidén and more recently has co-authored ‘Bleeding Hearts,
Corydalis, and their Relatives. Henrik has travelled widely to places such as northern Pakistan, western China, various parts of North America, the Caucasus, Turkey, Iran, The Alps and Greece. Plants established in cultivation through his efforts and generosities are far too numerous to list in full.
