I was in the Austrian mountains walk with friends yesterday. We could see hundreds Cypripedium calceolus, Cephalanthera damasonium, Gentiana clusii and some animals. Lovely weather has accompanied us.

Karl, your fabulous photos conjure up the spirit of your walks in the Austrian Alps; such wonderful plants you show us from single beauties to meadows full of N. poeticus and drifts of Cypripedium calceolus in shady places. Thank you.

Karl what a fantastic display! I've seen Cypripedium once in the wild in Norway and then only a few plants! However I know that there exist some places where they grow in abundance.

Nature pure. Big areas of the woods are inundated by water and gravel again and again. Most Cypripedium calceolus comes through by the thick gravel edition.

This beautiful mountain (1540 m) offers lovely landscape and a very rich mountain flora in the national park "Kalkalpen".
