Excursion: Arosa VI


One last look before we leave Arosa.

The white flowers are Ranunculus aconitifolius. Eisenhutblättriger hahnenfuss. Same family as those flowers known as buttercup and fair-maids-of-France. While the flowers are poisonous to cattle and taste bitter and cause blistering of the mouth so that they're generally left alone, they become safe to consume when they're dry (source).

The yellow flowers are probably from the same family but I didn't get any close up photos of them and am thus unable to identify them with any confidence.

Hilda: I know it and can barely believe it!

EQA: Thank you very much! And I'll look forward to visiting Indonesia through your blog.

Timothy: Glad that you like it and thanks for writing.

Kris: To be honest, all the photos (and many more!) were taken over the course of a few hours we spent in Arosa. It was just a day trip that we made from Villigen.
