Such pics are never to many for me. Some beautiful plants in the Höllengebirge.
Are those places easy to reach or is it very steep?

I particularly liked the veratrum, new to me.

These wonderful mountains are beside the Traunsee (lake) in the Salzkammergut.

Paddy, Veratrum is a very tall and for me a beautiful plant. It looks like a Cypripedium if it is young (buds).

Post by: johanneshoeller on July 02, 2008, 09:38:32 PM: Lesley, yes it is a Myosotis!! I have corrected!

Hans, I know where it is and the cablecar would be fine (at least for me)! ;D
We are mostly twice a year in Austria, will try to visit this place once in future.

I can only echo what others have said - you cannot have too many wonderful photos of plants in their natural surroundings.

Whilst the weather here was not good, we could enjoy your day in the mountains. Many thanks

Post by: ranunculus on July 04, 2008, 05:24:31 PM: Excellent pictures Hans ... I have been absent from the forum for a couple of weeks (malware and/or virus problems on my computer that have resulted in me switching to an Apple Mac for all future internet use) ... and your superb images have welcomed me back with a 'floral' bang! Many thanks.
