After my daughter and I (Louise) had planted up the rest of the garden, taken away most of the lawn (which Colin rarely cuts, so it's more of a meadow!), we looked around to see if there was anywhere else we could plant up.
Between us and our neighbouring properties, out the front, were these two barren strips, about 15cm wide and 10cm deep, encased in concrete, with a small bit of drainage. It took me several years to realise that it might be a good place to put alpines. We first planted this area up about 10 years ago and now we have a lovely mosaic of plants. Various things have self-seeded in as well. If they're pretty and they thrive, like the clover here, we allow them to stay. We're quite pleased with the result.

This beautiful little thing was in the Alpine House at RHS Wisley. I love the way some of the little florets at the top are fully open and wished I'd waited until they were all like that, but my very wise husband consoled me by saying that by the time they were all open the already-open ones would have gone over.

Alpine plants in heavy fog.
LA: Senecio alpinus
EN: Alpine ragwort
DE: Alpen-Greiskraut
HU: Alpesi (?) aggófű
Can grow up to 1 m height. At altitudes up to 2,000 m.
The flowers are normally arranged in an umbrella like shape. The flowers have an outer calyces.
The leaves are broad, ovate, the edges are irregularly serrated.
Loves nutritious and chalky soils.
Farmers in the alpine areas handle it as weed, as it is poisonous in the fodder for their cattle.

LA: Delphinium elatum
EN: Alpine delphinium
DE: Hoher Rittersporn
HU: Nyúlánk sarkantyúfű
This specimen is a planted flower in a show garden of endemic plants on the ÖBZ ground, in Munich.
The alpine delphinium is endemic to Southern and Central Europe and parts of Asia. Often in the mountains, at subalpine, alpine heights.
There are lots of cultivated versions of it. It is cultivated since the 16th century in the gardens of Europe.
I hope one day I will present a wild specimen.

Prompt: Ultra-realistic, DSLR, fine art oil painting of a breathtaking alpine lake in the Canadian Rockies, horizontal aspect ratio. The scene captures towering jagged mountains with rugged, rocky cliffs on the left, their brown and gray tones highlighted by soft sunlight. Snow-capped peaks rise dramatically in the background under a partly cloudy blue sky, with subtle sunlight filtering through. The crystal-clear, turquoise-blue lake below mirrors the surrounding mountains and clouds in perfect, glassy reflections. Dense evergreen forests line the shorelines, with scattered tall pines in the foreground. Rocky outcrops and weathered boulders rest at the water’s edge, painted with fine, deliberate brush strokes to capture texture and depth. The oil painting style emphasizes rich, natural colors, subtle tonal gradients, and meticulous fine brushwork to convey realism, texture, and atmosphere. The composition is expansive and panoramic, evoking both serenity and grandeur. Style: Ultra-realistic fine art oil painting, fine brush strokes Lighting: Soft, natural daylight with gentle highlights Mood: Majestic, serene, and awe-inspiring Aspect Ratio: Horizontal, accurate reference image details

Midday rain at alpine Sierra Nevada lakes, Kings Canyon National Park
Back in 2013 a small group of us escaped to a lake-filled basin high in the Kings Canyon National Park backcountry, in a location not that far from the crest. We set up camp at 11,000' and spent most of a week exploring and photographing the surrounding region.
There are many differences between quickly photographing such a place as you pass by and lingering over it for a week. Most obviously, we had time to slowly meander across the landscape, looking for and finding things that would escape the notice of a more hurried visitor. In addition, conditions change over such a time period, especially this late in the summer. We had beautiful blue sky days and warmth, and we also had days with wind and clouds and rain. This was mixed day. When I headed out there was a combination of clouds and sun, but before long I could see rain working its way up the valley. Sure enough, it arrived as I photographed.

Located at 4,380 m in the Himalayan mountains, Gosainkunda is one of 108 alpine freshwater lakes. In Hindu lore, the lake's association with Shiva makes it a holy place, and thousands of pilgrims make the journey to its bank each year.

These guys originally were the LEGO Team X-Treme Daredevils. I just love the colours & design they already had so I just exaggerated their characters but added a Ranger/Scout theme. I guess they kinda resemble a style of Alpine Sniper or something. One of them is hooking up a satellite link on a Military Grade Laptop to verify location.

"The new Alpine A110 is enticing, light and fun, rekindling the spirit of the famed berlinette. At its core, the Alpine A110 is a taut line drawn in a single stroke. It’s a skin wrapped ever so tightly around powertrain, lowered seating and centre of gravity. The expansive curved rear screen, and side panels with accent lines, highlight the pronounced wheel arches. This is an automobile with fluid lines that make it appear magnetically attracted to the ground."

Snow and ice-covered alpine spruce and fir trees backlit by an "ocean" of valley fog. It was a mystical display! Photo taken at sunrise on "Sunrise" ski trail, Mt Mansfield, Stowe, Vermont.
I realized I've flooded my photostream with this series ... this will be the last one from The Day of Fog (12-25-09).
lovely looking car by todays standards..this was actualy a lotus car driven several times by roman grosjean before passing through the renault team to the alpine team!
A tachnid flies drink nectar from an alpine goldenrod flower (Solidago multiradiata) that was growing near Crazy Creek falls off the Beartooth Highway in Shoshone National Forest, Wyoming.
According to a guide from Barnyards and Backyards Magazine published by the University of Wyoming, Tachnids are identified by the many stiff bristles that stick out of their abdomens as visible in this photo. They also are parasitoids. They lay their eggs on other insects. When the larvae hatch they attack and consume the host insect. These flies also move pollen around as they extract nectar. According to personnel at the University of Wyoming Extension Service, flies are common on flowers in the Sunflower family. They probably like the short flower parts that allow them to access nectar easily.
