Wengen area ... Kleinne Scheiddegg perhaps, looking towards north face of the Eiger ... small knoll near the broken fence by the tiny pond which is home to the one-legged, one-eyed albino frog called Lucky?

Tony I was totally wrong   :o
I could not believe your picture being a Pulsatilla, because we saw already some pics  of them
before in several topics. :-\ ;D

Now to my picture: no Pulsatilla nor Hieracium, but it belongs to the Aristolochiaceae.
Oops, this clue makes it to an easy puzzle now  ;D

Heard in a French restaurant: "waiter, do you have frog's legs?" "Oui monsieur." "well, can you hop over there and bring me a menu?". :P
