The other morning, I decided to take some macro photos of the tiny Alpine flowers that seem to be growing everywhere at the moment. But when I got back to the house and looked through my photos, I discovered that all I had in my collection was:
One picture of your commoner garden clover (half-dead):
A photo of (some not particularly Alpine-ish) wild thyme:
A photo of a pretty blue-flowered weed which probably grows in fields the world over:
And this yellow flower, which I don’t know the name of, but which I’m sure is a species so rare that it can only be found growing in the meadows on our farm:
Or that’s what I like to tell myself anyway!
The mountain dweller 
Stunning…
Thank you!
Beautiful macro!!
Thank you very much!
Gorgeous! My favorite it’s the blue one…Cichorium
Thank you for the compliment…..and for the name of the blue flower!
The yellow flower is likely in the pea family, Fabaceae. As for the chicory, I just came back from New York and New England, where I found it growing in profusion along many a highway. It’s not native to that region but has established itself there.
