Gagea and Lloydia appear after snow melts in higher elevations, G. minutiflora is the smallest Gagea species i have ever seen only 5 cm and a solitary flower of less than 1 cm still i find it to be a little gem.

More Alliums,
A. karataviense is a stunning species growing on serpentine.

Some of the alpine plants create outstanding displays, these two combinations have captured my eye.

A fantastic journey Oron. Thanks so much for sharing it with us. The Allium atrosanguibeum in the field is an amazing site but I love the white clematis too.
