These look just like bunchberry dogwood flowers, so I think they are the Japan Alps variety of the same flower that grows in the mountain forests of the Pacific Northwest back home.
These and the following flowers were all found above the 2,800 metre mark.
They cling tenaciously to any crack in the rocks or around any small boulder.
I think this is a kind of succulent though the leaves are not so thick. Can you see mall water drops on the leaves?
This was a miniature valley on a mountain ridge around 3,000 metres. Rocks walls protected the natural garden from the strong winds. In here it was peaceful and calm. Again, some plants I recognize from home are the white flowers which I believe are cow parsnip or Queen Anne's lace, and the plant with interesting leaves is called false-hellebore back home.
I like that the buds are red but the flowers yellow.
A shaggy looking flower, again found at over 2,800 metres.
Tomorrow's topic will be mountain weather.
