Austrian wildflowers: Alpine gentian and Red Campion

[ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ]

Of course there are some nice wildflowers on the way. I particularly liked the mix of colors here.

The blue flower seems to be an Alpine gentian (hat tip to ochoco).

The pink one may be red campion (Silene dioica).
