Hi All, A few pictures from our holidays in the French Alps (Région Isère ) We had again a unbelievable guide with us. He showed us beautiful landscapes,alpine plants and ofcours CP's!!! A few pictures: P.alpina and P.vulgaris grow together : Pinguicula vulgaris ,Massif des Grandes Rousses,France 2009 Massif du Taillefer Beautiful little flowers : Linaria alpina (L.) Mill. subsp. alpina (L.) Mill. ,Massif du Taillefer A view of La Grande Valloire,Chaine de Belledonne,Isère P.grandiflora ssp. rosea ,Chaine de Belledonne And yes ,we couldn't resist to visit again the bog with introduced S.purpurea ssp. purpurea. Last year ,we found big plants with 2 -3 meter diameter,but this year we found even bigger plants. The largest colony is maybe 50 square meter. Unbelievable !!! The pictures are sometimes a bit blurry ,because my lens was dirty. Pitchers with different colours : A piece from the monster : And stunning red sphagnum : More pictures are on my webspace : www.pbase.com/ignace and go to Cp's in France Regards, Iggy

Wow--great photo's! What month did you take this holiday? I was looking at the P. vulgaris in bloom (or flower stalk). Here in Alaska I have some P. vulgaris that were into hibernacula by early to mid-July.

That cluster of Sarracenia purpurea is awe-inspiring! Makes me wish I'd constructed a bigger bog, if it gets that big!

Fantastic pictures. Thank-you for sharing those.
Those S. purpurea are really taking off. How many years have they been there? Being an introduced species I'm surprised no one has raised a stink about them. I understand plants introduced back in the 70's have become a pest in Ireland.
