Hohe Tauern National Park in Austria

[Kat N]

My husband and oldest son went on a two-day hike last week from the Krimml Waterfall to the Wildgerlostal (highest point reached ca. 2800 m).  I gave them the directive to take photos of interesting flowers - this is what they brought back:

Saxifraga - possibly androsacea (ignore photo name)
Silene acaulis
Pulsatilla alpina subsp. austriaca (ignore photo name)
Linaria alpina

A few more, and some from further down the mountain.

Aquilegia atrata
Primula minima
Alpenrose
Gentiana acaulis

Your menfolk did well, Kat!

Sax. caesia is not the right name,  but must see the leaves - perhaps Sax. androsacea?
Ranunculus glacialis is Anemone (Pulsatilla) alpina

[Kat N]

Pauli -Thanks!  I was going  off of the guidebook I had from the National Park (published in 2014) and was wondering if I had the right IDs for all of them.  Sax. androsacea isn’t even in the book! I think you are right, I compared photos with the higher-res picture I had and the leaves are bigger and more elongated than the Sax. caesia and even have some of the hairs that the Sax. androsacea appear to have.  (ETA: It’s a bit hard to see in the photo posted because there are several small plants among moss and the greens fade together). Will fix the captions

Beautiful pictures Kat, they did a good job! And an opportunity to learn some of the species
I don't know about the Sax. but the Ranunculus is indeed a Pulsatilla.

The image with the Alpenrose is spectacular!

Definitely a great opportunity to learn about the species - and work on my German 

The Alpenrose was so pretty, it was about a week or so from full bloom.  The hillsides must be swathed in pink right about now.  This was the first time I had been there in June, by late July and August a lot of the interesting flowers are finished blooming.
