Which flower is this?

otiv26. 06. 2014 08:42:23

Good morning!

Which name do you like more, Ovit or Otiv? velik nasmeh

Your explanations for determining flower species are interesting and certainly instructive. This doesn't suit me at all; maybe construction is to blame velik nasmeh

, which accompanied me for many years. To taste a flower to recognize it, I haven't done that yet. But as a child I did a stupid thing, trying to tear off navadni volčin with my teeth because it didn't go with my hand. I wanted to tear off the twig for mom. nasmeh

I wouldn't want that taste in my mouth again. velik nasmeh

Of course not all my flowers grow on Zelenica; you know that and you have to turn a bit higher into the rocks. My path led through Suho ruševje upwards. I made many steps off the path too to encounter something nice; of course you have to take time and forget about the summit nasmeh

As you saw above, I got to the names of the flowers with a lot of help from Apolonija and since she probably reads this too, thanks again.

Brane, you're going to look at golden flowers,
up there on Zelenica's meadows.
Your heart will beat happily,
for you'll see flowers and steep mountains.

Brane, thanks for everything written and best regards. Vito nasmeh

otiv, sorry, typing error that happens to me often! Yes, to Suho ruševje, and also to Zelenjak and Palec I didn't manage to get last year during botanizing, nor to Srednji vrh. To Srednji vrh I've never been at all. That remains unexplored for me. Apolonija is also a great help to me and I'm extremely grateful to her for everything. On Saturday there will be some new flower again, at least I hope the weather doesn't spoil it too much.

jprim, only today I noticed the questions about ajbš and vinsko rutico. I don't know if it grows in the wild. I have vinsko rutico in the herb garden - I bought a seedling and then it self-sows. Ajbš has been in the herb garden forever and self-sows too.

francimedved26. 06. 2014 12:28:46

And even without ajbš and vinsko rutico jeger is very good.

Dear Vito and Brane, kobulnice are also more of a Spanish village for me, but still I have a remark:
"no. 96.-Kobulnica gorski silj. Very common kobulnica also in valleys on unfertilized slopes, even more in mid-montane. Has characteristic leaves...."

It really has characteristic leaves, but more like parsley, serrated. But on the picture it's probably gorski jelenovec. Brane, what do you say? Regards

velkavrh27. 06. 2014 05:47:00

It's true, I looked at it a bit too quickly. I know well what gorski silj is like. Kobul has a more spread-out form than bezeg, for example. Jelenovec has a more semicircular one.

Today on Komarča I went looking for bohinjsko peruniko and I found it too. Below it's already finished flowering, up on Komarča it's still blooming happily. In a week or two, rumeni svišč-košutnik will bloom on Komarča and also higher - above the hut under Bogatin there is a lot of it.

At the beginning of Komarča in the forest blooms ozkočeladasta preobjeda.

On Komarča grows a lot of this orchid - gorski jelenovec.

We recognize it by its characteristic leaves.

All over Komarča it is all purple with these bellflowers. It is called karnijska or lanolistna.

Leaves narrow like grass, flower elongated, vivid violet-blue color.

At the beginning of Komarče the irises have already finished blooming.

Higher on Komarči I discover still blooming Bohinj irises.

In the rocks of Komarče blooms Hayek's sandwort.

Radiant bellflower is still blooming - also further on Spodnja Komna there is quite a lot.

Today I find only Triumfett's helleborine - spikelets are brownish.

Yellow gentian-deertongue will bloom in a week or two-everywhere. This is Vardjan's or free-pollen one. On V remščica and elsewhere grows another subspecies -Bratinski or fused-pollen one.

Apart from round-leaved and wedge-leaved rockjasmine I see practically no others. Only on the inaccessible rock already above Črno jezero I spot scaly rockjasmine.

Tufted bellflower-white-will bloom only in a week or two.

Vetrovka or talin is common in the forest above Črno jezero and white-coloured.

I think it is the common popon. Similar ones include also oval and large-flowered. There is no only alpine one. In fact I cannot distinguish these three.

From here on there are already little flowers from Spodnja Komna - juliski lan.

The leaves are from alpine plahtica. Petoprstnik and plahtica grew together.

Under the Pod Bogatinom hut I finally discover habitats of Clusius' fritillary - around Dom na Komni it has already wilted.

Narrow-leaved potentilla will not bloom yet.

Above the pasture I spot habitats of the Divjak primrose.

On the rocks above the pasture I discover already blooming globeflowers.

Alpine lady's mantle - Alchemilla alpina - Rosaceae. It is smaller than the common lady's mantle and has smaller leaves somewhat bordered by a noticeable white line.

Alpine stonecrop - Sedum alpestre - Crassulaceae.

Right at the Pod Bogatinom hut I discover the habitat of fragrant hellebore.

The speedwell has not yet opened its flowers.

Hairy alpine bartsia is not yet flowering.

Alpine clover. It has the largest sepals of all mountain clovers and is very bright pink.

Pyrenean bastard toadflax - Thesium pyrenaicum ssp. pyrenaicum.

Many-flowered dryad - even paler color - later they are pink.

I don't know this little bush. It is dwarf rowan.

Brane, good evening! I feasted my eyes on your little flowers. Photos are always nicer, bravo.
Some of my remarks:
You already "identified" Vit's kobulnica as gorski silj, but I didn't agree. Also your one at 2, 3 you name it so and even emphasize characteristic leaves. I think those leaves belong to gorski jelenovec. Please, check 1X more.

4- karnijska zvončica

12- how do you know it's vardjanov košutnik, because it doesn't flower yet? Bratinski can also grow in the Julian Alps nasmeh

26- leaves aren't from petoprstnik, but from plahtica

55 isn't aster, but suholetnica

58- bush is pritlikava jerebika

Where tomorrow? Regards

Apolonija good morning! Indeed gorski silj and gorski jelenovec look so similar that I mix them up. But there is really a lot of it on Komarča and also on Spodnja Komna. Those are stands of tall stems called such growth sites. It seems to love moisture, because it was all white right at that first waterfall on Komarča. I know karnijska zvončica, because only this little bellflower has such grassy leaves - it flowers on Komarča exclusively only this one. There at plahtica I accidentally swapped pics. Asters were suspicious to me, because they were so low. How I know it's vardjanov - I'll research the exact flower when it flowers, because they differ by flower. According to literature vardjanov flowers two weeks earlier at least on nearby terrain. Bratinski is characteristic for Primorska and I'll go see it. Jerebika I've seen many times, because it's a common low shrublet.

Italy is postponed for one week. Today we have other obligations. During the week after shift surely somewhere closer.

A couple more flowers from yesterday. I found even more others that are usual for this time - alpski kosmatinec, navadna podkvica, gorski srobot, spomladanski svišč, navadni alpski zvonček, platanolistna zlatica, gorska zlatica, alpsko veleso, alpski šetrajnik, koprivasta zvončica on the way back on the serpentines, here there's also lots of brstična konopnica and both kamnokrečev - klinolistni and okroglolistni. But I didn't see ognjica at the hut on Komna, which I always see here at this time - as if they had mowed it. About a week later I'll come to see ropontika here - I know where it flowers and of course košutnik.

Good photo of Triumfetti's hawkweed where the brown hairs are clearly visible and it is distinguished from the very similar mountain one by these hairs.

There is a lot of beautiful thistle on Komarča.

There by the waterfall, soaked thick-leaved thistle - the flower got damaged for me.

It was only this mullein. Not Austrian or black whatever, because the flowers are completely yellow. It is small-flowered mullein - Verbascum thapsus - figwort family - Scrophulariaceae.

Rock speedwell. There was also a mountain one similar to the valley medicinal plant or valerian.

Perhaps this yellow one too, which I don't know. It looks like gray hawkweed.

These are its leaves - grows on Komarča.

Brane, good morning!

This yellow one of yours reminds me most of sivega jajčarja.

otiv29. 06. 2014 08:16:58

Apolonija, aren't you in the middle of blooming meadows or can't go without computers? nasmeh

Regards

Apolonija29. 06. 2014 08:32:44

otiv, computer more in morning and evening doesn't let me rest. During the day though, ju-hu-hu, blooming meadows! And you? Staying home today? nasmeh

otiv29. 06. 2014 08:50:02

Yesterday I was roaming around, making new acquaintances. nasmeh

Today, like all Sundays I'm at brother's for lunch.

Apolonija29. 06. 2014 09:01:18

You're doing well if brother cooks lunch for you every Sunday. My brother, where are you? Bon appétit! nasmeh

There's always something blooming on Kamniško sedlo, only no snow is lying. Now in summer, of course everything is in bloom and since not everyone will come up here, some velik nasmeh

pics for all for a heartfelt blooming break. nasmeh

Panicled knapweed? why is this one lighter

Spring gentian, it is such a dark color as the ocean

Mixed - alpine speedwell and stemless gentian

Daisy-leaved hawkweed and Clusius' primrose

For all of us, trying to show the face on the picture...

velkavrh30. 06. 2014 14:46:51

I like going to Kamniško sedlo. Nice up there. Only alpski repnjak you didn't identify dear otiv, which you have under 43., 44. and 91.

otiv30. 06. 2014 16:51:44

Brane, with your help I solved this riddle too. nasmeh

Thanks and best regards. nasmeh

Apolonija30. 06. 2014 17:01:08

Otiv, thanks for the enjoyment with the flowers. You look a bit tired. nasmeh

55- viviparous fescue - Look at the "bulbils" under the flowers, they fall to the ground and a new plant is "born".

56 - looks like potbelly bellflower
