Includes:: a glossary of flower parts & an introduction which describes the amazing lengths that these tiny gems go to to survive at altitude. Alpine expert author Gillian Price says: ` It never ceases to amaze me that such tiny plants can spend months on end buried under metres of snow & ice
- weathering temperatures as low as minus 25i??C
- then sprout back to life when things thaw out & warm up. In springtime you can spot the fragile violet petals of the Alpine Snowbell pushing their way through snow
