All lovely plants but I am very taken with Pinguicula alpina. I love these little insectivorous plants. PP. vulgaris and grandiflora do well for me. Fed in the autumn on those tiny insects that infest field mushrooms, they flower superbly in the spring.

Karl, thanks for posting more photos of the lovely flowerings near you in Austria.  Parnassia palustris is a beautiful flower which I have never seen before - does it grow in damp meadow?  Here in the meadow now we have the height of flowering and there are some spectacular plants.

I am Hans and not Karl, but Karl is my friend.
Yes, Parnassia palustris likes wet and sunny conditions and is easy to grow.

Hans, my apologies for calling you Karl but both of you obviously love the Austrian Mountainside and flora and it's good to know you are friends  :D

parnassia is also common here from wet to semi-wet meadows, i suspect it would grow in a garden without too much extra water..

Hans,

Some very special plants grow wild in your area.  :o  I'm intrigued by the Parnassia palustris.  The indented veining is just amazing, quite unlike anything I have come across before.  That in combination with the central arrangement of the flower is extremely striking.  Wow.

Cheers.
