Thanks for sharing. Beautiful plants in beautiful places. My favourites, the buds with water droplet is stunning photography and the hairy Pulsatilla buds just blew me away. I need to get to the hills for a plant fix

Hello Natalia,

I have a question about the Ulmus, please. What is it on those branches? is it moss or lichen? it does not look like part of the tree.

The Pulsatilla is wonderful.

Natalia and Ru,

Your photographs and reports just got better and better. Beautiful.

It's wonderful to be able to see these places - places I cannot visit.

Many thanks, Paddy

It U. suberosa. Such outgrowths are norm for it.

I am sorry that has not answered at once.

Thanks, Paddy!
