just forgot to say a few words about greenland and iceland in this
connection.
The greenlanders are happy about the climate change. One can see they
have started gardening, growing salads and some veg under glas.
Iceland has plenty of warmwater which they use to grow all sorts of veg
and fruits, like banana, tomato, cucember etc. etc. In a place called
Veragerdi there are big greenhouses producing these things.

usha di,
you recognize rightly, but the daisy ist hundskamille some /Anthemis
/I don't know the details. I tried to look into icelandic flora but
did not find it on net. Don't know why. it is omnipresent. You stumble
over it. I thought perhaps expert botanists know which sort of
/Anthemis /grows just under the polar circle.
Kuckucksblume is /Dactylorhiza majalis/(Nördliche = northern)
For the rest i have provided the lat. names. Which stellaria grows in
greenland i don't know. I did not find any book on greenland flora and
did not search much on net. :-( I enjoy flowers, if i don't know the
exact name, it is ok for me.
Hope it helps.
Thanks Garg ji, for your kind words

in Summer of 2012 we visited faroe-islands, Iceland and Greenland.
Though I made many many fotos there, I have to choose a few. I
did it today. Though it is nice to see the old fotos, I don't
feel like doing it today, when it is snow everywhere and the
temperatures are below -10. I just went quickly thru my
collection and chose the ones I found remarkable.
In Iceland I remember to have seen Wollgras (/Eriophorum
scheuchzeri/) and arctic poppy (/Papaver radicatum/) in white,
yellow, to orange. But more than that there was Hundskamille
(/anthemis/) everywhere, in the harbour, wastelands, along the
roads, everywhere. In *Seyðisfjörður* ( Iceland 65° 16′ N,
14° 1′ W

I found one orchidee Nördliche Kuckucksblume near a waterfall. I
could not go very near to it. I am attaching these Fotos here.
In Akureyri in iceland there is a wonderful botanical garden,
worth visiting.
In Greenland too there was beautiful vegetation, Mooswith small
flowers, Lichens on the rocks, colorful from white to deep
orange. But I remember the beautiful sunny and warm (!) day in
*Qeqertarsuaq*** Greenland 69° 14′ 45″ N, 53° 32′ 14″ W.
<http://toolserver.org/%7Egeohack/geohack.php?pagename=Qeqertarsuaq&language=de¶ms=69.245833333333_N_53.537222222222_W_dim:10000_region:GL_type:city%28858%29>
Here too I watched dandelion, vogelmiere () etc, but Arktische
Weidenröschen (/Epilobium-latifolium/) was the one, making the
land smile under the blue sky.
I hope you enjoy the fotos
Best wishes for 2013 somewhat late but from heart.
Regards
