(By Andrea Guipe; August 2006)

Pinguicula alpina on croce domini (1895m slm) in north italy, near Idro lake.

Lake Idro is one of the highest lakes in Lombardy (368 m). It is long and narrow (2 by 10 km) and is famous for trout fishing.It is completely surrounded by mountains and its waters are of a beautiful deep blue. The lake's shape and the surrounding mountains make it seem a Norwegian fiord.

Pinguicula alpina can be seen in its typical habitat with leaves from light green to dark red.
