Hi there Yijiawang.
 Great pictures, i think the first Arisaema picture looks like Arisaema dilatatum, i cant help with others as yet but will keep looking. All the Arisaema look great.
Thanks Ellen and Dan

Yijiawang,
I agree with all that has been said about your pictures. Outstandingly interesting!
I have a question:
Your pictures of Cypripedium tibeticum shows a very open position. Is this an open meadow? I would have expected them to grow a little shaded but I have never seen them in the wild.
If it is an exposed location, do you remember if it was wet. I mean is there possibly water flowing from a glacier or a little river that keeps it moist?
regards
Göte

to Gote,

yeah, C.tibeticum as same as C. macranthum， which seldom grow in forest, it is rain every day when rain season , which is from May to September, at the same time it is grow season too. so the soil is wet.

in some areas, Cypripedium flavum and tibeticum can grow at side of streamlet, even in water

Lovely images once again Yijiawang....the fern is particularly pretty.

Are you a botanist, a student or simply a lover of alpine flora....and were these images taken as part of your studies or on a holiday away from your normal work?

Not prying, just very interested.

Kind regards,
Cliff

The Rhodiola dumulosa is wonderful but it is the last one on that section that really intrigues me.  Is it a fern?

I'm late to compliment you on your plants and Pandas. It's been great looking at them. How's gonna name them all?

[Casalima]

Wonderful plants and wonderful photographs. I particularly love the lushness of the landscape, and the pandas, and the aquilegias, and the nameless wonders, etc etc

Congratulations!

Hi Cliff,
I understand you puzzle like anyone who know me that a youngling can get so many time to clean up garden nursery tour...  I major clinic and was a docter 4 years, now I am a businessman of medicine, so I can control my time for hobby.

Hi shelagh,
thank you for you help me take the name of this Rhodiola, yeah, it is a fern, plants of that section all grow beside glacier, over ca. 4300m, very wet. btw: Rhodiola spp. is a important Chinese traditional medicine, reputedly, it can rise red blood cell so that persone anti-thin air.

Hi Mark Smyth,
welcome, I will enter Chinese academy of sciences if I can get absolute correct name, hehe, but I will try my best to do it.

Hi Chloë,
please let me show the mountain for you.
