Forgiven, Maggi.

Diane's photographs more than compensate for the momentary recollection of work.

Great report, Diane, really enjoying it.

Here was an interesting sign - marking the watershed between the Rhine and the Danube.  All water from one side eventually ending up in the North Sea and the other side ending up in the Black Sea

This batch I would welcome confirmation or otherwise of names

Saxifraga stellaris (confirmed by Franz)
Campanula ?rotundifolia (confirmed as C scheuchzeri)
Androsace ?obtusifolia  but the foliage is not very obtuse so is it A chamaejasme? (confirmed as A obtusifolia)

A lovely set of phogographs, Diane.

I was very taken with Cicerbita alpina in Switzerland. It struck me as a lovely plant, so glad to see you considered it worth posting a photograph of it here. It doesn't really match the general expectations of an alpine plant but it certainly is a good plant.

Of course, the other plants are all excellent also.
