Super pictures, George and Cliff.  Like the Meconopsis punicea with the dark background.  I'm scared to look at my Meconopsis today.  It is blowing a gale.  They will be battered to bits  :( :'( :'(

Cliff, you're supposed to be on holiday!!!!!!! Tell Sue she has my permission to throttle you for tapping keyboards at dawn :o :o

Hi Martin,
In holiday mode today - glorious sunshine and a trip up Fuente De - only 348 photos and one fall to report!  Both knees and one shoulder (and the beloved camera) took the brunt of the fall, but after a hot bath and a couple of beers the camera is now fine!  :D
Saw the supposedly quite rare light green form of Fritillaria pyrenaica in an isolated colony; magnificent stands of Gentiana acaulis & verna; malcomias, daphnes, Silene acaulis; iberis, globularias, androsaces, linarias, etc, etc, etc.
What a start to a new destination for us, scenery to die for, amazing weather and super company.
Sue tried to throttle me, but couldn't get past the beer glass!

The only person who noticed my gin induced mistake was JohnnyD. ... three gin and tonics and a plate of tortilla to him for spotting 'malcomia' instead of matthiola. (and a kick on the shins if he mentions it again tomorrow)!  :D
