Oooh, fantastic! Gorgeous scenery views. The Draco is to lust for, isn't it
, so is Aconitum rotundifolium and Leontopodium nanum. The Allium growing through the custion plant is A. carolinianum.

Only someone with photos of your usual standard could apologise for these, Olga!
What a treat to have this unexpected expedition to enjoy... thank you very much indeed!
Spectacular scenery but I have to mention those allium, sprinkled over the cushion.... super combination.
