small plant of Swiss Alps
« on: October 03, 2016, 04:54:22 PM »

Hello, I have met this plant in the Swiss Alps, and wondering if it is wild or cultivated plant? It is located near a chalet altitude.

It's Linaria alpina by the looks of it. If it's well away from villages it is probably wild.

Thank you Martinr.
By checking the web I confirm that it is Linaria alpina that I have observed.

Yes, a nice rockery plant. In nature it loves scree.
