Approximately each 4-5-6 years we with the husband travel on the mountains near Lake Baikal.
This year the my friend who too is present at this forum joined us - Natalia Lambrova.
I want to show a little of what we have seen in those distant lands.

In Sludianka we came by train ... subsequently moved differently mainly on foot with knapsacks on our backs ...

I am so pleased you have started this thread Natalia, I have wanted to see what the Lake Baikal area was like for some years, and I will never be able to travel there so I am happy ;D
-
It is exciting to see your trip, Natalia- I agree with Brian. Thank you.
There is something pleasant in finding, so soon, that a marmalade cat looks the same all over the world!
-
Really looking forward to this thread Natalia, as we are hoping to visit the area in 2014.
-
This is looking to be an interesting thread Natalia as this is an area of which I know very little.
Thank you for posting.

Natalia,
I concur Mike. Please show us more - I'm curious ;D
-
Colleagues, thank you for your support. :)
ronm - your cats are gorgeous! I begin the story, I hope my friend Natalie will participate in this topic - Baikal is so varied that talk about those places is very difficult. Everyone has their own impressions ....
-
One of the objectives of the trip were Cypripedium , we saw them on the first day ... And very different forms and different species...
Cypripedium macranthum - The Baikal plants of this species are considered as the brightest in the territory of Russia.

Cypripedium macranthum - This is a photo I found Cypripedium macranthum done my friend - Natalie. But I could not - I delight hands shook so that all the photos were out of focus. :D
[attachimg=1]
Cyprypedium calceolus - they finished blooming, but we managed to find a flowering plant...
[attachimg=2]
-
Cypripedium guttatum - there were a lot of different designs and different shades, unfortunately not all photos were successful :'(
[attachimg=1]
Another very interesting plant - Eranthis sibirica=Shibateranthis sibirica - Find it after flowering, if you do not know where to look - very difficult, but we managed to find and collect its seeds.

Fascinating thread Natalia !
The pictures are superb !
Thank you so much for taking us into this area full of surprises and totally unknown to me ! :-*

What a delightful Lily that Lilium dauricum is, does anyone grow it?
-
Thank you, Luc. :)
Brian, Lilium dauricum - a usual lily in our gardens - it has also other names - Lilium maculatum ssp. dauricum=Lilium pensylvanicum =Lilium sachalinense.

But also pincers here much more, than in other places :(
There is always a price to pay for these beautiful places - biting insects are usually the first !

Melvin, thank you.
I hope that continuation of the story will be interesting to all...

Please post as much information as you can, 8)
PS - Can anyone put names to the plant pics please, otherwise ( if I understand the system correctly ) these images won't be available to the search function, and therefore will be lost in time! :( :( -EDIT .... Thanks Maggi

Ron, I have been returning to Natalia's post to add the file names, bit by bit. :)

Natalie this really is a very worthwhile thread, thank you again for taking the time to post your wonderful pictures and give us a flavour of the area around lake Baikal.

;D Thank you for the edits Maggi, ;) 8)
-
Regarding plant names in this thread, isn't the Trifoliums (except the red one) shown in reply # 38 actually Medicago sativa (M. sativa ssp sativa and M. sativa ssp falcata)?
Beautiful landscape and pictures, Natalia!
-
Fantastic images Natalia!
I hope you don't mind but I sure will forget the name Pentaphylloides and stay with Potentilla ;)

Natalia:
Thanks so much for sharing your photos.
