rampion, Phyteuma hemisphaericum, July-Sept, 5-30cm
Also known as the round headed rampion or the round-headed horned rampion. You tend to find these on limestone soils over 2500m in height. We found this while on a via feratta locally.
sheep’s-bit (Jasione montana)
July 31, 2010 Filed in: August | Blue Flowers | July | June
sheep's-bit, Jasione montana, June-August, 10-45cm high
Incredibly although sheep’s bit doesn’t grow more than 45cm the roots can extend a metre underground allowing the plant to gather water even in sandy soils.
