Should this be in a new folder (Image of the Day 2014)?
Saxifraga and lichens.

New thread made to get us up to date :-X

Isn't this the cutest little Ranunculus seguieri? Only 1/2 inch tall (1.5cm) and as flat to the ground as possible this gem is now flowering superbly. I have a number of normal scale examples that usually flower at four or five inches tall. I must keep my eye on this one for future years.

Small but perfectly formed, Cliff - definitely worth watching to see if it keeps this diminutive stature.
I'm impressed that you have managed to keep the slugs off those pristine flowers.

They are planning to strike tonight, Maggi.

Very nice Cliff. It reminds me of the area below the Laguzoi ;)

Indeed Ian … with luck we will hike there again soon.

A stunning sight from the high meadows of the Col du Lautaret in the French Alps … just a few of the hundreds of thousands (nay millions) of the gorgeous white buttercup; Ranunculus keupferi that literally blanket the slopes in early June. Images of the meadows, the short turf snowmelt habitat and a close-up of these delightful alpine blooms.

That is lovely - next time the Tour de France passes by and I'm glued to the TV, I'll be thinking of these white gems which will be long over by then of course.
Remind me, Cliff, what it was that drew you to the area.......... ? ;)

You are most welcome, buddy … not QUITE R. godleyanus, but still a wonderful sight. Hope all is well in paradise/

Trial time : I don't know whether this has been tried before, but I wondered if some damp-susceptible plants could be grown in and over an upturned clay pot that is filled with a very gritty compost? The little Thlaspi rotundifolium was bare-rooted and the still moist roots were gently pushed through the drainage hole before the upturned pot was carefully filled with the dry compost. Time will tell. The top dressing is limestone chicken grit.

Hi "ranunculus"!
I wish you a successful experiment.
