Rick, actually I was referring to the sources at the links I provided, wondering if
they had done any actually testing of the soil or not. I didn't question your findings that the soil was acid based on other plants at all
Sorry if this was unclear, but if it was, I can always blame it on language difficulties

You may be interested that I found that a well known nursery in the UK agrees with you that T. nivale isn't sensitive to pH

I wouldn't dream of disagreeing with your conclusion that some plants can grow in one place in the wild, yet tolerate very different conditions in cultivation. This is most fortunate for us gardeners, at least for this gardener
