Yann, it has been such a pleasure to share these photos of so many wonderful plants. Your pictures of the area show its natural beauty and the range of different plant- as well as the large number of orchids is extraordinary. How you must have enjoyed the trip!
-
Wonderful Yan and then there come the orchids.
Thanks.
-
Yann, they are wonderful photos, how lucky you are to be able to visit this area. I wonder what Ian thinks about you walking on Erythroniums!!!
-
Beautiful, Yann! Is this from the Parc naturel régional du Vercors?
-
Yes, the parc is a vast land of 20000ha with a great biotope's diversity.
You can't visit all the region in one week, one life isn't enough to explore each spots of that mountainous massif.
-
Wonderful trip Yann !
-
Maggi each year it's my pilgrimage, no tourist in the countryside at this time of the year. You can feel a day like a king in its realm and a day vulnerable compared to the surrounding elements.
-
Merci Nicole, you certainly know some parts of this region, living not so far?
-
I forgot to post forms called Lusus wich means morphological abnormality
-
it's quiet rare
-
Interesting trip Yann, it looks a beautiful area.
-
Wonderful Yann, now all we have to do is identify all the plants!
-
Yes sorry i didn't have time to label photos...
