Which flower is this?

zvončica20. 07. 2023 22:01:47

Velkavrh, you photographed really a lot of flowers. Some are not named correctly:

in pic no. 1 it's nettle-leaved bellflower. There is no meadow bellflower.
in pic no. 9 it's handsome thistle
in pic no. 20 it's daisy edelweiss
in pic no. 22 it's Sternberg's pink
in pic no. 38 it's common thistle

Best

Thanks zvončica! I was a bit hasty. I'll correct. I meant hairy bellflower.

darinka425. 07. 2023 06:42:01

Yesterday between casera Goriuda and rif. Elio Marussich.

Today I repeated Krvavec because last week it went a bit wrong for me. Rain overtook me. And rain flooded my mobile too. Now these pics are already with new mobile. Camera waiting for repair or new one - I'll see. Some flowers will surely repeat.

Large-flowered foxglove - there are many of them.

Only thistle - thistle and burdock species confuse me a bit.

There is really a lot of common spotted orchid.

Carniolan gentian - the smallest of the gentians.

On the pasture we find this beauty. There is a dilemma whether it is the cat-tailed one (we have two subspecies) or the Turkish one (we also have two subspecies). They hybridize. Only experts distinguish them accurately.

In the Krvavec area I know only one extensive stand of tufted bellflower. Another stand I know on Zelenica.

I counted as many as seventy specimens. We have two subspecies. This is Campanula thyssoides subsp. thyssoides. The other subspecies C. t. carniolica is considerably taller.

In Slovenia idk around 12 species of yarrow grow. This high-alpine one I tried to determine as denticulate.

Good thought or wild oregano. Good for tea and as a spice.

Bellflower or dimek, that's the question now.

Knapweed for sure. In the valley it would be common. This one is mountain knapweed.

This knapweed is the common one - Centaurea jacea subsp. jacea.

The flowering time of cyclamen doesn't start until autumn.

Today it was Komna and also area around hut under Bogatin. There I found even Rhelik's pink and pot-bellied marmot. I have quite some to show.

Common fireweed - Telekia speciosa - it came to us in WWI with horse fodder.

Narrow-helmeted monkshood - there are three subspecies here - I think it's Aconitum lycoctonum subsp. vulgaris.

On larger growth areas it is slowly fading.

Sweet cicely has already finished flowering - Myrrhis odorata.

Definitely a thistle. I concluded that it is the thick-leaved one.

In Slovenia we have two subspecies - I think it is Carduus crassifolius subsp. crassifolius.

Popon or sunrose. I can't confuse it with the alpine one. It's not velecvjetni, it matches the common-Helianthemum nummularrim subsp.obscurum or the ovate one -H. n.subsp.obscurum.

Only bellflower - among the grass there were only these. I didn't look properly whether there was one flower on the stem or more.

Long-leaved scabious - Knautia longifolia.

Marsh gentian - but autumn is not coming soon. They are a bit early.

darinka428. 07. 2023 21:51:07

From Silva Koren path today.

Of these yellow ones there are the most.

velkavrh29. 07. 2023 07:38:04

darinka4 great! Your Rhelik's pink glows with its blackness. Gentian I haven't seen this year yet, nor wild pink-carnation. Pot-bellied bellflowers are everywhere full. For Zois' bellflowers you have to try harder. Your dog seems to love yellow flowers.

zvončica29. 07. 2023 16:20:12

darinka4, how many bellflowers! nasmeh

On picture 6 it's the Carnic or woolly-leaved bellflower, the inflated one on picture 8 is fairy-tale beautiful.

darinka430. 07. 2023 13:03:57

Great, thanks Katja and Branko.

kati190931. 07. 2023 12:01:09

Well, my "high-climbing break" (spine) has passed, so the desire for mtn. flowers was even greater; I headed to the floral paradise around Dleskovec. Attaching some beauties; hope I named them right. If not, "zvončica" please help.

velkavrh31. 07. 2023 19:33:00

Today on Pokljuka the harvest was more modest.

Nettle-leaved bellflower - thanks bellflower.

zvončica31. 07. 2023 22:16:54

kati1909, correct the flower names:
picture 9: Sternberg pink
picture 15,16: kobulček, not klobuček nasmeh

From the photo it's not clear that it's Witasek bellflower.

velkavrh, the first picture is not broad-leaved bellflower, rather nettle-leaved.

kati19091. 08. 2023 10:14:07

Thanks "zvončica"; attaching picture of Scheuchzer bellflower, but its flower is different from Wit. bellflower, which also grows in Kamnik-Savinja Alps. Hence my dilemma. Greetings!!

velkavrh3. 08. 2023 06:01:09

Only bellflowers can mislead us. The essential difference between Scheuchzer bellflower and Witasek one is the number of flowers on the stem. The stem at sch. bellflower is usually one-flowered - only rarely multi-flowered. At wit. bellflower the stem is always multi-flowered and this bellflower is 20 cm taller than sch. bellflowers.

I paid more attention to bellflowers several years ago. I know that in Slovenia we find 28 species of bellflowers. I too don't have all in my album of bellflower pics. In vain I search almost every year that hybrid at Vrtača.

darinka43. 08. 2023 06:46:26

In the flower that gives its best for another flower, life flows on. So it looked yesterday on paths where few walk. Even though we had grayness and the weather was not as forecast, the flowers enlivened the cloudy day.

velkavrh3. 08. 2023 15:57:56

darinka4 spoils us with high mountains where many no longer manage.

Primroses and Zois bellflowers I think we all know.

Perhaps at no. 21 not all know saccate bellflower, no.14-edelweiss, no. 20-Triglav rose and only rock cress no. 13. and 15-evergreen rock cress.

velkavrh3. 08. 2023 16:01:33

Today we had rainy Pokljuka - we went to pasture Zajamniki from Rudno polje via pasture Praprotnica. Sadly it mostly rained. Flowers just for sample.

This year I found sviščevec for the first time. I think it's the Austrian sviščevec.

If the weather allows I'll go on Tuesday with PD to Selška dolina Železniki to Austria-Maltatal valley in Austrian Carinthia.

But I have to go at least to Vodnikov dom. Above Vodnikov dom enthusiasts have nicely taken care of a botanical nursery this year and installed plaques with names of mountain flowers. If conditions allow I'll climb to the forepeak of Vernar, where I always find habitats of Triglav neboglasnica. Below Vodnikov dom I find Widder's primroses, which are similar to Kamniške ones.

Today sending yesterday's collection of little flowers from the trip to Maltatal valley. There were huge numbers. About fifteen I couldn't photo satisfactorily. But it's already quite evident we're stepping too fast into autumn. Much summer flowers already bloomed out or wilted -say alpine pasqueflower, common roseroot, mountain avens, alpine buttercup etc. Didn't see any globeflower except snow globeflower. Otherwise valley still all green, because lots of water here. Everywhere flows, gurgles, splashes.

For some years researching dryads in Austria. Hard to distinguish them- differ by coloration of scales at end of rosette, height not decisive, by width of petals, color and width of bracts on stem. Common dryad we find here has completely green rosette, light petals quite light.

White hellebore blooms only higher up - below it has already wilted.

Of the bellflowers I find only Scheucher's and the bearded one.

This shrubby cinquefoil appealed to me. The species is hard to identify.

In some hollow I spotted a growth of snow gentians.

There are quite a few rock jasmines - the most noticeable is the hairy one.

The low gentian surprises me - it does not grow here.

Norwegian cat's paws - Gnaphalium norvegicum, also Omalotheca norvegica - I find them at home only on Črna prst.

Houseleek - according to Flora Alpina it is Sempervivum montanum subsp. montanum. It is the border houseleek with Austria.

There is plenty of this gentian - species harder to determine. I think it is the German gentian.

It is common eyebright - Euphrasia rostkoviana subsp. montana - according to Flora Alpina.

Ranjak - the species is harder to identify.

Plahtica - too weak photo to determine the species. Not hairy or lobed. Could be smooth, common or leathery.

I saw several yellows that I cannot identify.

Definitely from the carnation genus - perhaps popkoresa, črvinka or peščenka. I also suspect creeping sadrenka.

velkavrh10. 08. 2023 18:53:35

Today huge harvest of mountain flowers from trip to Gartnerkofel. That's a two-thousander above Mokrine ski slope. I was assistant guide so could afford so much photography -and light was good for photos too. At start of hike flowers still wet. Higher up already dry.
