Memories of the Pyrenees

I collected a few seeds of Iris latifolia near Gavarnie in the French Pyrenees on my first alpine flower holiday 17 years ago. It has proved a long lived addition to the garden, with it's large, deep blue flowers. After two group holidays in the Pyrenees I have travelled solos to Switzerland in most of the intervening years but I look forward to returning to the Pyrenees one day.

Alpine back-blips from last weekend all complete, do take a look. They make a change (sort of!) from the stay-at-home blips!
