Wildflowers from the Vidden

Here are more wildflowers we saw on our hike up high.  I got a flower book, and am trying to identify what I can.  We also haven't seen that many wildflowers; it is still very cool and rainy here, and plants up high are at early stages. Sorry it's taken me so long to put this together, Lynn!  (Lynn is my wildflower friend in Kalispell)



This is a whole bunch of Cotton grass, or Myrull in Norwegian;
eriophorum angustifolium for Lynn!


This looks like Bunchberry dogwood

Lynn recognized this as Buckbean (Bukkeblad in Norsk)

no clue

This was identified in my book as "vaccinum myrtillus" or Huckleberry!
In Norway it is called "blabaer," pronounced "blow-bear" or blueberry.

The flower looks like heather, but the leaves are more like bearberry.

Good old geranium--Skogstorkenebb!!

I saw a few different ones on Lovstakken:
"Fjell kattefot" or Mountain Cat's Foot;
Pussytoes in America?


Skogstjerne or trientalis europa; it's everywhere, like a Spring Beauty.

This beautiful lupine was growing along the roads in the Hardangerfjord area we drove through with Tonnes:



What do you know--harebells and buttercups;
Blaklokke and Smorblom.
