Very beautiful photos Zvone! We don't have snow like that here but as a benefit more and more winter flowers are appearing. Another crocus, C. laevigatus. Such a simple and beautiful flower, but very slow to increase in the garden.
Mount Raduha : the shot is incredible, the light falling down the snow offer superb reverberation. Splendid landscape!
Not a great picture - I am chastised for not tidying up the old leaves - but a great plant, and why alpines can be so exciting when they emerge in late winter. This is Lomatium columbianum, one of the few really colourful umbellifers, the flowers and leaves all expanding together even at temperatures close to freezing. The lomatiums are the largest genus of North American umbels and a fascinating group to the plant geek, This one is probably one of the most attractive, the expanding leaves are grey-silver, just like a small fennel, and like these the plant quickly goes dormant in the summer, behaving very like a bulb. I wil show another picture when it has reached its full charm.
