Wonder if any of our members know those plants?

Those plants are not exactly inhabitants of our regions. I found them at an altitude of plusminus 2000 meters in the Swiss Alps.
But it's always a good exercise to learn to identify plants we don't find in our direct environment by studying the colour of the flower, form of the leaves, flowering period, height of the plant. It's worth the effort and may give satisfaction.

I had never seen them before, but have never been to the Swiss Alps.
My sister has just come back from 2 weeks in Grindlewald and she hasn't seen them either, though they do quite a lot of walking, may be not above 2000mtrs.
