Description
Going higher and higher different flowers appear. Like this alpine rock-jasmine (Androsace alpina), that can bloom up to 4000 m (13000 ft) altitude. Incredible how a flower in these harsh condition can survive! They brighten up the rugged rocky world with their joyful colors.

I missed commenting on this one and I'm so glad I came back to it! I've just found a little book on Swiss Alpine Flowers, it's 54 years old! It says you find them on lime free rocks and rubble, hence mostly on granite, which looks like what we have here!!! Beautiful capture!
