The best meadow of all was at Blauherd.
Fabulous stuff. ;D

Just drooling Johnny.  Those reflections are fabulous!

The sedum at Rothorn is Minuartia sedoides while the anthyllis at Blauherd might be Oxytropis helvetica .... all beautiful. :)

... and the picture labelled "Erinus alpina" is Linaria alpina
Just wonderful, I want to go NOW.  Fantastic views and fantastic plants, that is what it is all about for me.

Have no fear, we are viewing and enjoying these spectacular images here in Corvara!   The Dolomites are yielding similar beauties and the weather is INCREDIBLE.
We just missed seeing Mel and Elaine Linney out here and dear Anne and Joe Spiegel of course.  Ships that pass in the night and all that, but we have been hiking with Gill and Peter Regan from Kent and Graham and Jackie Poynter.
Life is truly sweet, but only 900 images on the cards since Thursday means too much wine and too little tumpod!
Take care all!

Apologies, but I can't post images from here as my laptop is full and will implode if I upload any more photos.  I need a fully functional laptop for the twice weekly presentations to Collett's guests so SRGC will have to play second fiddle for once!
We still love you all!

Jonny - lovely pictures. The views take me back to my walking, pre-plantaholic days when I explored Zermatt. I definitely need to get back for the plants.

Cliff, I'm glad there's still plenty to see in the Dolomites - I was there on the SRGC trip a few weeks ago(still sorting through pictures!) and there was a fabulous range of plants in flower - although we were a little early on the Bindelweg for the orchid hybrids. They should be good for you.
