From the lens Alpine Flowers of Switzerland.

Did this bouquet of Swiss alpine flowers make you want to wander through an alpine meadow? Or did it give you hay-fever?

    With the warm weather lately there should be some great blooms going on. I'll contact some our chalet hosts in the Alpes and find out if they can spot any Alpine flowers.

    My sister lives in Switzerland, and on ocassional visits to the country, there is nothing better than long walks taking in the stunning alpine scenery.

    What a beautiful place for vacation. Hopefully I and my family will be able to make it this summer in Switzerland. Excellent lense.

    Amplified from amplify.com - Such a beautiful lens. Thanks for the warning about the poisonous flowers. Beauty can indeed be disconcerting. :)

    Beautiful lens about these beautiful Alpine flowers. My daughter visited the Swiss Alps last summer, made me jealous, and now I want to go all over again!

    Lovely, lovely lens - arrived here via Amplify.com - it works!

    Loved it. I had one day (not one summer!) in Alps above Engelberg near Luzern. Amazingly beautiful
  • Koupie May 27, 2011 @ 7:56 am | delete
    The Swiss alpine flowers make me want to wander through the meadow, just beautiful, I would love to be there right now :)

    Gorgeous apline flowers - bow wow!
  • efriedman May 12, 2011 @ 10:22 am | delete
    Beautiful places. You mentioned early to mid- summer for alpine blooms. What calendar time marks the start of summer at that altitude - beginning of June?
  • WordCustard May 12, 2011 @ 1:44 pm | delete
    Yes, start of June is pretty much the start of the Summer in the Alps and a good time to see the flowers.
  • CruiseReady Apr 28, 2011 @ 6:22 am | delete
    Beautiful photos and lovely lens.
  • ForestBear Apr 20, 2011 @ 6:20 am | delete
    Great photos! Love the Swiss alps and your lens made me want to go there again! Just became your fan
  • RuralFrance Apr 5, 2011 @ 2:07 pm | delete
    Beautiful photos! I'm waiting for the orchids to flower here at the moment :)
    Thanks for visiting my lenses and your comments.

    Happy April Fool's Day! The photo grafts of all the flowers are gorgeous. I have Squid liked your lens, added it to my faves, and am leaving you with a Fool's Day Blessing (no April Fool's prank here). This lens has also been added as a featured lens on My Squid Angel Wings blessing lens too. Look for it in the April Fool's Day section for the "Home & Garden" neighborhood.

    Truly beautiful. Will be back again next spring to enjoy these.

    The Spring Gentian are absolutely beautiful....Thanks for sharing your knowledge!

    Oh, I sure would love to wander through an Alpine meadow for sure, beautiful!

    I see you've added so much since the last time I visited. It was outstanding before, but it's even more beautiful and informative now.

    Thanks for such a kind comment Naturegirl.
  • triathlontraining Sep 8, 2010 @ 2:46 pm | delete
    Wow, beautiful flowers! I love mountain flowers. It's always surprising to find a meadow of colorful flowers, just around the bend.
  • WordCustard Sep 9, 2010 @ 1:26 am | delete
    Gorgeous aren't they? Thanks for your kind comment.
  • tssfacts Aug 28, 2010 @ 9:14 am | delete
    What beautiful flowers and pictures. I can just smell the fresh air of the Swiss Alpine as I read this article.
  • WordCustard Aug 29, 2010 @ 10:13 am | delete
    Oh yes, I love that pure mountain air and the beautiful alpine meadows... Thanks for visiting!

    A very beautiful lens! No wonder all those Squid Angels have blessed it!

  • prosperity66 Jun 15, 2010 @ 1:50 am | delete
    Had to come back to enjoy looking at those wonderful and amazing blue flowers! Definitely an eternal enjoyement!
  • WordCustard Jun 15, 2010 @ 2:58 am | delete
    Oh I'd never get tired of an alpine meadow of flowers. So happy you like them too, especially as it means you don't need to go anywhere near the mountains! ;)
  • JoanneOtt May 25, 2010 @ 3:13 pm | delete
    I love flowers and love the mountains too! And nature walks are wonderful too. It's wonderful to talk such walks, they are good for the soul.
  • WordCustard May 26, 2010 @ 5:33 pm | delete
    Very true, Joanne. If only we all had such scenery on our doorsteps. Thanks for your visit!
  • MiaBellezza May 21, 2010 @ 7:14 am | delete
    Beautiful alpine flowers. I even had a few in my garden at one time.
  • WordCustard May 21, 2010 @ 1:16 pm | delete
    So glad you enjoyed them, Mia. I'd love some in my own garden.
  • mulberry May 9, 2010 @ 8:20 pm | delete
    Beautiful photos and they make great stickers. That Burnet moth is pretty interesting too.
  • WordCustard May 21, 2010 @ 1:15 pm | delete
    Thanks Mulberry, it was certainly a pleasure to have the chance to take them.
  • CastleRoy May 3, 2010 @ 9:48 pm | delete
    This lens is so beautiful the Swiss Alpine Flowers are lovely 5* wonderful going to feature on my lilac lens.

    Thank you very much for the comment and the feature, CastleRoy!
  • KarenTBTEN Apr 26, 2010 @ 6:22 am | delete
    I could wander through an alpine meadow. Never been to the Als, but I've seen quite a few of those same flowers elsewhere.
  • WordCustard Apr 26, 2010 @ 12:20 pm | delete
    When I researched this one, it was interesting to find that some of the same mountain flowers grow in North America as here in Europe. I bet there are some beautiful mountain meadows in the Rockies too.
  • LKW31 Apr 18, 2010 @ 11:37 am | delete
    Swiss alpine flowers are just so preciously beautiful. I bought some Edelweiss seeds in a supermarket when I was there in the Summer, I don't know if they will grow here but it's worth a go! I love your photos, very pretty lens!
  • WordCustard Apr 19, 2010 @ 7:59 am | delete
    Thanks for the compliment, Lucy, and best of luck with the Edelweiss seeds.
  • HorseAndPony Mar 9, 2010 @ 7:02 pm | delete
    This was beautiful. I am so ready for some flowers. We are going to document some of our new Colorado flowers this year and of course press some. Love this lens.
  • WordCustard Mar 10, 2010 @ 3:18 am | delete
    You must get some beautiful flowers there in Colorado, perhaps not so different from the ones on this page? Thanks for visiting.
  • d-artist Mar 1, 2010 @ 1:48 pm | delete
    another great lens...5*... you forgot the most important flower, the National Flower of Switzerland is EDELWEISS...oh you must add it to your lens to make it complete....yes?
  • WordCustard Mar 2, 2010 @ 2:12 pm | delete
    Ah yes... I will add it in here, though also see the lensroll for a link to Imola's wonderful lens about the Edelweiss (which is why I didn't want to repeat her work too much here).
  • dc64 Feb 8, 2010 @ 9:37 am | delete
    The Scheuchzer's Cotton Sedge are my favorites on this page. They look so unusual, I can only imagine how a field of them must look.
  • WordCustard Feb 8, 2010 @ 9:03 am | delete
    Yes, they are like balls of cotton wool. As you can see, my camera couldn't focus on them at all.
  • naturegirl7 Feb 1, 2010 @ 4:54 pm | delete
    Beautiful and informative lens. It brings back memories of my trip to Europe during my college days. Come back to Naturally Native Squids HQ and add it to a plexo. I will be featuring it soon.
  • WordCustard Feb 2, 2010 @ 9:55 am | delete
    Thank you... and I will! Delighted to be part of Naturally Native Squids.

    That Spring Gentian is an unbelievable color. Beautiful.

    Yes, no Photoshopping required with those! They really are that dazzling. Thanks for visiting, Addy.

    This is so beautiful. I have never been to the Swiss Alps but have always wanted to go. I love the way you did the colors in your background to match the flowers.

    beautiful page. I love alpine flowers, we had the best blooms this last summer in colorado due to all of the rain we had in spring.

    What a beautiful lens! I love these flowers and it really makes me want to visit the Swiss Alps. Blessed by an Angel.

    The flowers are gorgeous! I don't think we have any of those blooms you featured here in our tropical country so I loved seeing the photos. Congrats on making 50! *woot* (:

    Absolutely breathtaking.....your pictures are gorgeous, and what a beautiful lens to have for your 50th one :) I really loved Switzerland when I went, and you have captured this small piece of it, the flowers way better than even my memories.
  • kimmanleyort Dec 17, 2009 @ 5:50 pm | delete
    Yes! I visited the Italian Alps this year and your Zermatt lenses brought back memories. Your photos are gorgeous and I love the way you matched the text boxes with the flower colors. Had no idea that so many were poisonous. Congratulations on #50!
  • prosperity66 Dec 17, 2009 @ 5:36 pm | delete
    I love this lens. I love flowers but don't have green fingers so I generally kill mine, except those of the garden as I don't touch them as often as I use to do with those in the inside of the home.
    You built a great lens with your Alpes collection! Congratulations on this 50th lens, Nicki! You're a great lensmaster and you'll be a great Giant Squid!
    Dom.
