I’m not doing the wildflowers any justice with these pictures. The mountains were carpeted with them, and I was busy taking close-ups. Lucky for me, Joel took some good wide angle photos.
These are quite small, yet quite bright and yellow.
Here is the wild version of the Campanula, or the Bellflower. It comes in all shades of purple, I have spent good money to buy these in a nursery, so seeing them wild was fun.
This Scabiosa looks no different than what I buy.
I think this is a wild version of the Azalia.
The Hollyhock was growing wild behind our Chalet, but I wouldn’t call it a wild flower.
This is called paying attention to the little details.
Didn’t see many of these, but those I saw were very impressive.
Even some of the leaves are colorful, I hope this isn’t a sign of fall, summer had just started.
The town is full of flowers, roses against a chalet with green shutters.
One of the amazing things here is that when I aim to shoot a picture of flowers, I get the mountains in the background. They don’t even look real.
This looks photoshopped, the backdrop just looks fake.
These arrangements of petunias are all over the place. When you get steady rain, these flowers thrive, even in containers.
Love the creativity here. It all just works.
