Karl,
Wonderful scenes. What is the cross? A place for prayer for those nervous at that altitude?
Paddy
-
Nice views Karl !
Not much flowering yet though... ::) ::)
-
Paddy, the cross is sign our confession and it´s from catholic youth groupp or from alpenorganisationen convivial. Pardon my english.
Luc, snowdrift~ 10-15m, no flowers, one wanderfoul day.

Lovely pictures Karl, but you can keep the snow ;D

Great pix :)

Wonderful photos , Karl, though a lot of that snow looks ready to fall down. Dangerous conditions indeed.
In the first photo, I wonder where the door of the house is? :o

Great show Karl !! :D
Thanks for sharing ! ;)

ImToten mountains were in a valley with my wife and a friend today. Two weeks ago was still up to 70 cm of snow there, it has flourished everywhere today.

The area is very rough, the walls partial steep and brittle.
-
Karl: A great pleasure to join you on this walk to see such fine flowers in nature. Thank you!
-
Karl,
super shots from the wild. Like especial the Primula clusiana.
Thanks for posting.
-
These walks with you in the Austrian Mountains are wonderful showing the landscape and habitat of such beautiful wild alpine flowers at this time of year....I shall look out for more of these flowers on my walks in the Alps in Switzerland, thanks Karl. :)
-
I was away with friends in the fountain valley again six days later. The mass of flowers still has increased, Primula clusiana flourishes extensively and the Gentiana clusiis shine off the steep slopes. Only more is in store for Primula auricula right above where in exteme ravines the snow settled for a long time. Between this one found Callianthemum anemonoides, Pinguicula Alpina ,Hutchinsia alpina and other more again and again. The plants grow there. the area is partly very rough and the creeks leading Scneewasser must be crossed on overturned trees in a pure lime gravel with only quite low Humusantei.

Karl, your photos are exceptional and the scenery stunning - looks like you had a great day for walking - the gentiana group in the brown grass are perfectly set off and the primula clusiana is magnificent growing like that. Can you tell me what the difference between this and P hirsute is? It is growing here in rock clefts not in open grass but I'm wondering if I have the right ID? (pic in Alpine Walks in Valais thread)
-
Wonderful photos Karl !! Great scenery - gorgeous plants !
Thanks again for sharing them !!
-
Karl, we were not in the mountains for a longer time ,so we enjoyed your beautiful
pictures especially. It is always a wonder what nature can do; better than any gardener.
Thank you for showing them.
-
Karl, thanks for taken us with you on your mountain trip in the Brunnental.
Looks like a beautiful area, where I passed several times but never went to walk or botanising.
-
Karl
Wonderfull photos.
I must re-visit this area again as it has been almost 20 years since my last trip.

Karl,
your picture from Brunnental resembles me as a painted scenery from the famous US painter Bob Ross. :D
A phantastic caught of a moment in the mountains 8)

Armin, nature has painted these pictures.
-
A plant which is wonderful and smelling strong is here some pictures of the Narziisenwiese within the Alpine pasture valley, Narzissus poeticus this one year for year fills me with enthusiasm.

Beautiful Karl.

It reminds of N. poeticus meaodws I've seen in Montreux sur Lausanne, Swiss.

Hans, the Dryas octopetala is my favourite!!
Karl, you seem to be very lucky or very clever to choose such fine weather for your trips! :D
The Soldanella alpina is so pretty in the sunshine.

This year, Maggy, it is difficult beautiful actual I curse to use. fortunately I am in pension and can organize the time.
-
Lovely pictures Hans and Karl. Many thanks for posting them.

To have a pension is to be a free man! Thank you for sharing the beautiful days with us.

Thanks Hans and Karl for reminding me of some wonderfull past visits.

All lovely plants but I am very taken with Pinguicula alpina. I love these little insectivorous plants. PP. vulgaris and grandiflora do well for me. Fed in the autumn on those tiny insects that infest field mushrooms, they flower superbly in the spring.
-
What a wonderful treat to come back to - thank you Karl and Hans for the beautiful photos of wild flowers from the mountains :)
-
Now you can see thousands of the following plants near my garden and house (Höllengebirge, Langbathsee)
Parnassia palustris
"Gelber Fingerhut" (Digitalis lutea)
Dactylorhiza fuchsii
Cyclamen purpurascens
Daphne mezereum
Veratrum album
Gymnadenia conopsea
Epipactis atrorubens

i am seeing this thread rather late (well, i knew it was there, but didnt get to it!)..thanks karl and hans for these trips--such delightful places!
love those early spring flowers--esp callianthemum, and agree with lesley about Pinguicula--nice colour on this one..and of course C purpurascens... i am watching for seed of that one...
-
Karl, thanks for posting more photos of the lovely flowerings near you in Austria. Parnassia palustris is a beautiful flower which I have never seen before - does it grow in damp meadow? Here in the meadow now we have the height of flowering and there are some spectacular plants.
-
I am Hans and not Karl, but Karl is my friend.
Yes, Parnassia palustris likes wet and sunny conditions and is easy to grow.
-
Hans, my apologies for calling you Karl but both of you obviously love the Austrian Mountainside and flora and it's good to know you are friends :D
-
I am Hans and not Karl, but Karl is my friend.
Yes, Parnassia palustris likes wet and sunny conditions and is easy to grow.
parnassia is also common here from wet to semi-wet meadows, i suspect it would grow in a garden without too much extra water..
-
very nice indeed Hans.
-
Hans,
Some very special plants grow wild in your area. :o I'm intrigued by the Parnassia palustris. The indented veining is just amazing, quite unlike anything I have come across before. That in combination with the central arrangement of the flower is extremely striking. Wow.
