Thx, Click and lion rock!
Both images are from June 2017. Right now the species is still flowering in many alpine/forested regions of Austria.

Same location is also a good place for a number of other interesting species, especially Cypripedium calceolus (Lady's Slipper Orchid).

If you are interested, have a look at some more images - mostly "less abstract" - of my April 2017 trip to Keukenhof, Netherlands: ttp://www.nimbifer.eu/images/#14923117328200

In case you don't know the place yourselves, Keukenhof is a tulip lover's paradise: https://keukenhof.nl/en/
Park/exhibition is open during season only - next time from 21 March until 19 May 2019. Depending on seasonal conditions, mid April is probably peak time. Definitely well worth a visit. About 1 hour by shuttle bus from Amsterdam.

Great shots there. Piece of paradise!
