Rumex alpinus
This luxuriating plant can take over entire alpine areas where cattle has been congregating and the soil has been over-fertilized, as shown here. The plant can reach 1 m high, with 50 cm long leaves.
Alps, 1200-2600 m. Spotted here at 1500 m.

Thanks Noah_906!
Have a great time LauraMaria!
Oh my that's stunning! Excited to be heading to the alps on Wednesday!
Thanks Outdoor Imagery! As much as I wish you could visit my neck of the woods I think you're being unfair to you own country: the US has some extraordinary scenery!
Thanks Alice! I'll admit using this spotting to show a bit of landscape as well... It's the "Habitat" part of Noah!
Love the picture!
