Forget London 2012 Olympics; In The Swiss Alps, The Flowers Stand On Ceremony
If you're sick of the crowds at the London Olympics?or anyplace else, for that matter?the Swiss Alps is a great place to get away from it all. To a casual observer, Switzerland is a nation of flowers that seem to thrive in the mountain air. Each species favors a different altitude and habitat ? from rock crevices and screes, to snow beds and springs.
