Wildflower: Ribwort plantain


Plantago lanceolata (Spitz-Wegerich) or something similar. Tea made from the plant is supposed to be a good cough remedy. The butterfly might be a holly blue (Celastrina argiolus).

Really nice series of wildflower pics, z. Especially good where you've got the butterflies. Reminds me of my first visits to the alps years ago, and the amazement at the wildflowers and profusion of different sorts of butterflies in spring/early summer
