So this time, I planned the trip three weeks earlier. Even though I saw many Primula farinosa and a few tattered auriculacastrum types such as very late blooming Primula minima at very high elevations, this time, the earlier date prooved more fruitful. In fact, I think we hit the snowmelt and peak primula blooming period. The only problem at this moment, will be correctly identifing these species. Following, are some images to show you what we found in various passes and peaks in Switzerland.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" id=\"BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5080496833562569090\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/gardern.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/06\/tinyprim1.jpg?w=640&#038;ssl=1\" style=\"cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; float: right; margin: 0 0 10px 10px;\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><br \/>\nPrimula minima?
