Adonis in all its Glory + a Health Warning.

Having been told about these beautiful and rare flowers quite near Martigny, I could not believe that I had never seen them after all this time living only 30 minutes drive away. Gaby and I had an exciting time trying to find them, driving for miles in the forest on rough roads to eventually discover that they were not far above the village of Charrat.

P.S.They are highly TOXIC. Here are some more on Flickr if you are interested: https://www.flickr.com/photos/hilarysview/?

The rest of the day has been so busy, I am falling asleep as I write this, so apologies, no comments will be attempted tonight.
