Savoy Alps
« on: December 02, 2008, 04:42:48 PM »
Today weather in Poland is not encouraging :) - wet and windy
Some photos from that year trip to Savoy Alps with Rock Garden Club Prague. I saw in seed exchanges of SRGC i AGS seed send by several attendees.
Let's come back to the beginning of September...

Campanula cenisia - still in flower >2600m - Col du Galibier
Erigeron alpinus - compact form
Linaria alpina - with superb contrast of colors
Lotus alpinus - last flowers >2400m
Jardin alpin du Lautaret - Alpine garden in mountans (~2100m)/ own by Grenoble University

Oh Lautaret! It brings back memories. There was a brooklet  leaving the
limits of the garden with thousands of different coloured asiatic primulas at the margin.

Great shots Michal !
Beautiful plants and scenery - Thanks for sharing !
I wouldn't describe Camp. cochleorifolia as "nothing special" - it's a little gem and one I find quite difficult to satisfy in the garden...  :-\
