Real rock garden in Austria
« on: August 01, 2007, 09:44:46 PM »
Here are some pictures of a wild rockgarden in the Nockmountains in Austria at 2200 meters above seelevel, for the specialists to determine what kind of flowers they are.

There are some real experts, especially those native to Austria who can help with names.  From my experiences in neighbouring Switzerland I would suggest:
Phyteuma hemisphericum
Saxifraga bryoides
Saponaria ?pumilio - lovely pink flowers, looks like it would make a good addition to my rock garden!
Veratrum album
Adenostyles (pink) and Aconitum (creamy yellow) spp

Are there more pics?  It is great for those of us stuck at home in the lowlands to be able to share in these mountain visits.  Thanks!

I'm with you all the way Tony....oh, and the Aconitum looks like A. vulparia while the Adenostyles is probably A. glabra.

Great to see your fine images Gerard.
