    The plant explosion goes on with full force. Everytime I go out there's more to discover.

    I have always liked the filigree Bladder campions in full bloom.

    The Globe Flower and Wood crane's-bill complement each other beautifully in color.

    These peaks will remain white because this is a glacier, the only one I can see from here....rebafoto.ch/blog/2023/earlysummer//RB_07240-f.jpg

    ...while these peaks should soon be snow-free, assuming we get a "normal" summer.rebafoto.ch/blog/2023/earlysummer//RB_07243-f.jpg

    Sur-En is a small hamlet on the other side of the valley. It belongs to the municipality of Ardez.

    The Alpine pasqueflower is also already back and in a short time thousands of them will bloom.

    The Fistula-shaped dactylorhiza belongs to the family of orchids, a beautiful plant.

    I was surprised to see already the Chamois ragwort.

    The hogweed is now everywhere to be seen and is at times already man-high.

    The Garden lupin blooms only briefly, but at present it shoots up manifold along the roadsides.

    They look like they're from the film "sound of music" 😊 yes I love musicals even the really old ones.

    Thank you so much San! I take it as a compliment even though I know nothing about musicals, I didn't even know there was a movie called "Sound of Music". But it sounds good to my ears 😉
