More specifically, a dozen wildflowers blooming on 5 June 2026 at elevations between 2000 and 2400m, near Lac d’Allos, in France’s Mercantour National Park, while on the sensational hike described here. Above Alpine Snowbells. There were still some small and isolated patches of snow nearby.

I love seeing alpine flowers, Bob! These are gorgeous! When we visited the high country of Yosemite in summer, I loved seeing the alpine lupines and columbine in the meadows (9900 feet elevation). When we moved to Northeastern Washington, I was delighted to see the lupine pop up everywhere this time of year.
Likewise – such an incredible part of any hike. I’ve got hundreds of images; I’m thematically (and very gradually) working through my photos – wildflowers should be near the top of that list by the end of this summer. 🙂
