Corydalis solida

Fritillaria montana
or orientalis or caussolensis. Seen on the Plateau de Caussols.
The following document says F. caussolensis is synonymic with F. montana (http://www.ville-ge.ch/cjb/publications/cando641/C641_133-141.pdf).
 Flora Alpina calls it F. orientalis.

Moving on to May. Again french alps only. My first stop was around the Mont Cenis area and from there on I moved south with my last station being, again, the Plateau de Caussols.

Saxifraga oppositifolia

Callianthemum coriandrifolium. I saw many plants in one spot but only one was flowering. Since it was my first day I was sure I'd be seeing plenty more and also the weather was very bad so I only took a couple of pictures, non of which came out very good. Still it's a wonderful plant, and now at least I know where to go in years to come.

Pulsatilla alpina maybe ssp. cottianea? Growing on Mont Cenis

I find it difficult to find out the names of Violas, at least I don't have the proper litarature for it. This one was very lovely, in many different colors (white, yellow, purple and mixed) growing along the Pulsatillas

Pulsatilla montana - Puy-St-Pierre - Most were already over. Many meadows were covered with seedheads

Senecio doronicum

Vitaliana primuliflora (Androsace vitaliana in Flora Alpina)

Thank you Thomas! Got a few more to come

Ranunculus pyrenaeus, or R. kuepferi as Flora Alpina manages to confuse me again. These plants look a lot like what I saw in the Pyrenees, just much more beautiful. Bigger flowers and many plants producing double or semi-double flowers. The picture for R. kuepferi in the Flora Alpina and what I saw before as that species looks very different from the plants pictured here.
