gusano75 Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 Hi everybody, long time without posting here. I did not want to squat the post from Jure so I created this new one. This sunday I was doing one of the hikings (in the massif of Chartreuse, France) I always do to get in shape before the start of the hiking season. I have to say that I know very well this place. Well, obviously, the more you know a place the easiest is to get lost . I took the wrong path and just by pure chance I found these P. alpina growing in the cliffs in almost pure rock. What puzzles me the most is that the rock was not as wet (almost dry, I would say) compared to other places where I have found pings in the alps. So here we have a bunch of then well hided in their small hole. Protected by an army of one of my favourite alpins weeds: Alchemilla alpina. Note: you can click the photos for a larger version. a beautiful flower this one is growing in negative slope! This is the first time I see CP in this place, so I was happily surprised by this discovery . Cheers, Rafa. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
