Synopsis
Excerpt from The Flora of the Alps, Vol. 1 of 2
Probably nowhere on the face of the globe is to be found, especially in the spring and early summer, a greater wealth of brightly coloured flowers, often growing in enormous masses, festooning the rocks, and making of the alpine pastures a veritable floral carpet; and the interest is greatly increased by the ease with which many of them can be cultivated in our flower-beds or on our rockeries.
