more near snow fields still Primula ,Daphne + Narcissus in flower
on 1300 m altitude we found a other Anemone - sorry but I dont know the name -they are endemic here in the Vosges mts.....I have now searched a bit :this is maybe not a Anemone ...it is a Pulsatilla alpina  ;)
Le 'Hohneck' ( the second high peak of the Vosges Mts. - 1363m)
After a break with coffee and Tarte Myrtille we goes back to our car

Enjoy

Wonderful pictures! It looks like you have not to travel so far to see rare plants! You have to show me the place as soon as I come to you!

Hans,
Great trip - and so close to your home! Real Mountain feeling!

The violets are Viola lutea (pansy type -yellow and blue variety) and Viola riviniana. The former one most obviously Viola palustris.

Gerd - thank you !

You are shure right  :D
The V.palustris grows in very wet conditions
The other are the 'Vogesenstiefmütterchen'
and the one was a dark flowering near a wood

Yes the Vosges mts. are really great - here is a little information :
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vosges_Mountains

We know it very well and we like really !
In earlier times we made there always trips some day with tent and backpacking....
