Delighted to see you posting on your visit to the Jungfrau area, Tony.

I had intended posting further photographs from my visit to the area but have been very busy - who says teachers don't have to work during the summer!

So, here are some photographs from the Schynigge Platte area. There is a Botanic Garden purely for alpine plants and makes  an excellent start to a holiday to the area for the novice plant spotter as all the plants are clearly labelled. The gardens are free and just at the railway station and seem to blend seamlessly into the surrounding countryside where there are some very pleasant walks with interesting flowers and excellent views.


I'll try to follow up with some plants.

Paddy

Wonderful pictures of amazing places, super plants. And there was I thinking it was all yodellers and lonely goatherds and holey cheese. Many thanks to all posters.

What wonderful pictures and plants, Paddy.  It looks as though you had a great time in the mountains.

But what is that intense blue across the top of your latest landscapes  :o ??? :-\   

I hope your LC results were up to expectations.

Many thanks, Franz.

The blue of the last landscape is but a distant memory.
