Flora
White pulsatilla
It grows in the stubble fields above 1100 meters high, next to Vosgian Pansy, Blueberry, and Callune, the false heather. Its beautiful white flowers you can see by the end of spring, become fruits with long beards at the end of summer. This floral richness is due to the flocks and herds that graze, leaving an open space.
