Description

Besides the purplish blue mount cenis bellflowers there's also mountain hawkbit (Leontodon montanus) blooming here. Although it resembles the common dandelion (that, in fact is a species more than once distinguished in several subspecies) it belongs to another genus (both belonging to the daisy family like thistles, knapweeds, hawkweeds, and (of course) daisies).

More color among the rocks. Thank you for brightening my day, Jan-Carel. These rocks are interesting, too. They have a lot of some shiny mineral, maybe mica?

Superb - it is amazing how plants can cling to life in seemingly the most inhospitable of places

My father once offered my sister and I a penny for each dandelion we picked and put into a bag. When we got to 500, he amended the verbal contract to $1 for all we found in the yard. Ignoring that, I like this look of blooms in the harsh rocks. The wider, blunter blades are like Electra Propellors in a field of Orions.

WOW!! Neat info you put in there about the various flowers. Hanging around with you, I'm sure to learn something new every day. I'd have thought that at this height there wouldn't be any plant forms. Glad you pointed them out to us.

These sunny yellow flowers really brighten things up on that stark mountainside! The rocks look like what you might see if you were on Mars.. from what I have seen from the martian rovers :-) Beautiful!

I like how the flowers breaks up the stark constrast of the stone. I noticed today I have a rose bud in the first part of February. I never seen any this early
