Alpine roses (Rhododendron) - German: Alpenrosen, Italian: Rododendro
I found these nice flowers in the forest at the end of the Martell Valley (2,150 meters a.s.l.)

It is so lovely to see theseRhododendron ferrugineum in the wild. Always a wonderful surprise when one is high in the Alps.
beautiful images karl! and is it your birthday today? happy birthday!
So many beautiful flowers...
Very beautiful!
These are all glorious photos but the 2nd one really stands out. What's this about a birthday? Just in case, I wish you a fantastical time on your birthday! Is there anything different about an alpine rose say, from a Roman rose? I'd guess an alpine nose would be a little redder than a Roman nose, but I'm not sure! :))
They are all lovely. It seems that your rhododendrons bloom quite a bit later than ours.
Sure Jack, I took these pictures 2 weeks ago at 2,150 meters a.s.l.
Many thanks Tanya!
damned social media ;-)
I didn't know Rhododendrons were called Alpine Roses. What a beautiful series!
I didn't know that either Karl, how nice from now on I'll look at my Rhododendrons and think of them as Alpine roses..nice :)
