This quite seldom yellow Pulsatilla,reaches a hight of ca 20-50cm and has 6 petals. It flowers from May to August and grows on non chalk grounds.

Splendida immagine di Pulsatilla alpina, eccellenti POV e composizione con i due fiori in primo piano con angolazioni leggermente diverse, ottima nitidezza, perfetta definizione dei petali, molto belli i colori e BG scuro che dà maggior risalto ai fiori. Grazie e complimenti. Ciao Maurizio

Hello Anne,
What a wonderful Alpine flower you're showing here. Excellent capture showing details very sharply and the light yellow colour is very beautiful against the dark background. I have a book on Die Blumentwelt der Alpen by Herbert Reisigl where it states that it is protected and only found in the Alps and the Pyrenees. Very well observed and presented!
TFS and best wishes, Ulla

Wonderful photo and wonderful flowers!
Very good dark background and well coloures flowers. TFS

Hi Annie, beautiful couple of wonderful flower, splendid delicate colors and great sharpness, very well done, ciao Silvio

There is a wonderful calmness in this image...almost depressingly calm..not sure why it hits me this way...as I type I am wondering....was there some sadness in the environs...or in the area in some way which is shown here? It is a technically terrific shot with nice notes...I wonder...perhaps I will make it happy!
Bob

First of all, your aesthetic sense at its best in this beautifully composed shot, Anne.
Secondly, these flowers are so beautiful I just can't stop myself admiring them.
Your alpine region is truly rich in flora.
The image is also technically superb.
TFS and warm regards.

Hello Anne,
a very soft and pleasant shot of these white flowers.
Excellent clarity with great sharpness of the stamen.
The blurry backgrouns complement to the beauty of the shot.
Well composed of white against green.

Regards,
Foozi
