Moving on to Clematis species, we have Polish spirit (Clematis viticella), Clematis purpurea, and Clematis Montana Rubens. These vibrant climbers add a splash of color to any garden or landscape with their enchanting blooms. In meadows across Piano Grande mountain foothills, you can find the cheerful Meadow buttercup (Ranunculus acris) flowers dancing in the breeze. Their golden hues bring joy and warmth to this picturesque setting. Spring Gentian (Gentiana verna) steals the show with its striking blue flowers in Plate 19. This rare gem adds an element of surprise and beauty to any natural environment it graces. Helleborus lividus and Helleborus are two captivating members that captivate with their unique characteristics.
