and something for Ian Y., Sempervivum and saxifraga.

 Lovely, Oron, and when he recovers from his fainting fit at the Scillas and Frits, he'll be delighted, I'm sure! ;D

Galanthus alpinus var. alpinus [syn G. caucasicus]
wasn't easy to find it in flower as they flower just a couple of days after snow melts and seems to  last only a short time, we have found lots in fruit in different elevations.
This site is at 2200m.

Somehow I find these wild galanthus very appealing... much more so than their cousins in captivity.

Extremally cold habitat - very showy drops and place! THANKS, ORON!

Thanks for those breathtaking photos of scilla rosenii.
I now understand Janis statement "Scilla rosenii is a plant of incredible beauty."
This blue sea, these fantastic white eyed flowers - really great shots!
Congratulations and many thanks for sharing these views with us!

Oron - I presume the drainage is very good up where the Galanthus alpinus grow. Does it dry out in the summer?

Lovely shots.

Thanks again for your kind comments,

Dima, its extremely cold habitat for someone that comes from the Mediterranean, certainly not for someone from Ukraine ;)

John ,
Drainage at this site is very good as it is a step slop and the volcanic soil contains a good percentage of little stones in it.

I suppose it is humid for most of the year as there is snow until the end of June in this location and the fact that it is a NW facing slop.
