Paris quadrifolia is on of my alltime favourites 🥰 can you think of a more perfect plant?
The etymology of Paris seems unclear, whereas quadri-folia is rather self explaining. Even though it can have more than 4 leaves...

@patsplanet Glad you like it ☺️

Plants never cease to amaze me. Look where this one grows! And then it makes these sublime flowers 😍

@wildenewt Wow, so cool! I admit I lay flat on my belly to take the picture and I stayed there quite a while just to admire the plant...

[Jasmin @LaBotaniste]

Salix reticulata in bloom. Looks somewhat otherworldly, don't you think?

Bartsia alpina flowers are so very discret! Linnée named this plant in honour of his late friend, the naturalist and doctor M Bartsch.

@BrianLaney2 Thank you! I very much like it, first time I saw it I wasn't very careful though and promptly got splashed with a load of seed 😆 seeds collected yesterday will go into the seedbank.

[Jasmin @LaBotaniste]

I'm gonna try and collect some Ecballium elaterium seed for conservation purpouses today. Fruit are under pressure, as soon as they are plucked seed shoot out. I'll try avoiding them 🤪

Mission accomplished 😉

[Jasmin @LaBotaniste]

FYI last time I tried I wasn't very successful in avoiding them 😆

[Jasmin @LaBotaniste]

Soldanella flower just after melting of the snow. I saw some in April, at low altitude and then again at the end of July, rather high up.

@silverpebble Lovely composition ❤️

[Jasmin @LaBotaniste]

As its name says, there's only one flower. Not very showy, but hardy. Meet Littorella uniflora.

Colour variation in Cyanus segetum pappus. Rather lovely.

As pointed out by @cyllenea_ it is of course an Euphrasia and not an Euphorbia 😬😆🤦‍♀️

[Jasmin @LaBotaniste]

Euphorbia rostkoviana, a perfect little beauty. It's an annual hemiparasite.
