WOW!...what a glorious display of fabulous pictures!
I would say without any doubt, that no other website/forum has anywhere near the huge collection of images found here.
The plants are superbly photographed and would put to shame the majority of those found in many alpine publications.

Looking through these posts is like lifting the lid of a huge treasure chest, or walking into Aladdin’s cave and having ones jaw drop open in amazement at the sight of so many treasured jewels.

I am in no way a religious person, but Luke 12:27 sums up the splendor of these plants - “Consider how the lilies grow. They don't work or spin yarn, but I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them”.

Thank you all for this wonderful forum.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Poor Sol may have been quite scantily clad if the lily beetles were around when that was stated.

Armin,

Fortunately it is at the edge of a newly established woodland planted by the Woodland Trust (a UK body dedicated to preserving and regenerating woodlands). Not quite a nature reserve, but the next best thing!  :D

Frankie, that Blue Velvet is a stunner. It is the rare kind of blue that is not cold but radiates heat. Terrific. :) :) :) And the rest is very nice too.

I received this one as Erythronium japonicum - it's my earliest Erythronium. Can anyone confirm its identity?
