Should this be in a new folder (Image of the Day 2014)?

Isn't this the cutest little Ranunculus seguieri? Only 1/2 inch tall (1.5cm) and as flat to the ground as possible this gem is now flowering superbly. I have a number of normal scale examples that usually flower at four or five inches tall. I must keep my eye on this one for future years.

Small but perfectly formed, Cliff - definitely worth watching to see if it keeps this diminutive stature.
I'm impressed that you have managed to keep the slugs off those pristine flowers.

They are planning to strike tonight, Maggi.

Very nice Cliff. It reminds me of the area below the Laguzoi ;)

A stunning sight from the high meadows of the Col du Lautaret in the French Alps … just a few of the hundreds of thousands (nay millions) of the gorgeous white buttercup; Ranunculus keupferi that literally blanket the slopes in early June. Images of the meadows, the short turf snowmelt habitat and a close-up of these delightful alpine blooms.

That is lovely - next time the Tour de France passes by and I'm glued to the TV, I'll be thinking of these white gems which will be long over by then of course.

 Remind me, Cliff, what it was that drew you to the area.......... ?  ;)
