Astonishing pictures once again Olga !  :o
 What a beautiful area full of all these gems !!

As Robin, I'm delighted with the view of the C. tridentata field... (I grow just one plant of it you know...  :-\ ;D) - but the Gentians (and all the rest) are equally astounding !!
Thanks very much for taking us on this hike !  It's a pleasure !  :-*
