Which flower is this?

I know well the cottage-cheese strudels at Planina Konjščica, much less the flowers velik nasmeh

Of course not everything grows or blooms anymore at Jezerci. Gentians, edelweiss, alpine sow-thistles, marmots and forget-me-nots are almost from the top of Tosc, since winter was a bit longer up there. All other flowers can be found lower too, gentians and narcissus most at the start of the path to Tosc, when we turn from the main "road" towards Vodnik Hut. At Jezerci there is lots of flowers, just have to walk the whole meadow and enjoy the fragrant carnations - pinks as we call themvelik nasmeh

Good morning! I see that I will have to devote myself even more to bellflowers. Otherwise, bellflowers are my love besides alpine sow-thistles, to which I devote myself the most. But essentially, in two years I haven't moved forward. I haven't found a handbook by our authors that devotes itself more to the genus Campanula - I mean species that grow here - I mean the alpine area.

We roughly distinguish tall-growing and low-growing ones. Many tall-growing ones also grow in valleys. The most characteristic are koprivasta, bolonska, razprostrta, klasasta, breskovolistna, repuščevolistna. We also find klopčasta, which we also grow in gardens. All of these we find in mid-mountains and even higher. Brkato, we find somehow higher - it can be found lower too - I don't distinguish it yet. Srhkodlakava is very similar to klopčasta.

There are many low bellflowers on our mid-mountain and high-mountain pastures, on rocks, in rock fissures, scree edges, among dwarf pines, among tall stems.

Of course, we best know zoisova, which has a different flower from the others and cannot be confused with the others. Distinguishing the others is already harder. They differ primarily by leaves, stem height, one or more flowers per stem, leaf rosette. The flowers will seem very similar at first glance. Some have only one flower per stem, others have more flowers and branched stems. The most common are trebušasta, rušnata, scheuchzerjeva, okroglolistna, karnijska or lanolistna - for this one characteristic grassy leaves and we cannot confuse it, witasekina. These we should find most often. Also mentioned are beckova - rare sites, alpska - completely unknown to me - not confirmed here, izrodna - Trnovo Forest, justinova - area of Škocjan Caves, marchesettijeva - Trnovo Forest. I haven't seen these last three yet.

A speciality is also klasasta - violet color - rare - in the Luknja area in Vrata and of course similar white - šopasta, which also has a subspecies.

Outside Slovenia there are even more others.

Brane hello!
Really there is a little sea of bellflowers and slowly I'm learning to recognize them too. So I already know well rušnata bellflower, of which I met many yesterday on Ratitovec. It has several flowers per stem and flowers are slightly bell-shaped rounded. Really pity I can't show picture,jezen but these devices and my gray headvelik nasmeh
Best regards!nasmeh

Managed to upload pics, so I can show them.

Brane, you wrote well and informatively about bellflowers.
Otiv, you really know the glandular bellflower well. It helps me with identification: http://www.zaplana.net/flowers/asp/druzina_list_si.asp?name=latin&family=Campanulaceae

Among tall bellflowers it's not hard to recognize the spreading one, because it's really so delicate and spreads branches all around. The clustered one (and not klopčasta) has upward-facing flowers clustered in a head. The nettle-leaved has leaves like nettle and flowers are hairy, the Bolognese ones are hairless. The cat-tail-leaved has flowers facing only one side and the upper stem is leafless. The spike one has blue flowers arranged in a spike, the tufted one is whitish-yellowish and can't be confused at all. See, piece of cakenasmeh Brane, the bearded one isn't hard to recognize once you see it. The glandular one is hard to confuse. The pot-bellied one isn't hard to recognize in nature either. Scheuchzer's has only one flower per stem, Witasek's, which is taller too, has more.....well, the listed ones shouldn't trouble me. Neither peach-leaved nor pyramidal. The alpine one has flowers similar to the bearded, but not hairy, leaves are different too....I haven't seen some yet.

What can we say, otiv, that's how it is. Only the common marsh orchid is bound to bogs and marshes. I admired yours yesterday at Valvasor.

Because of fog I didn't walk around at all, so I didn't encounter any gentians. But I had a small one as a snack. velik nasmeh

Is this Koch's gentian?

ornitolog, a non-expert can hardly distinguish Clusius' and Koch's gentian from each other. The flowers are very similar, I'd say identical. But Koch's is extremely rare, usually found in Karawanks. By the middle flower I'd say it's Koch's. We can surely identify it by the green horns of sepals that don't touch the flower calyx-they are apart. In Clusius', they adhere to the calyx.
Koch's edelweiss.1
Clusius' edelweiss. The basal leaves on both can be clearly seen. This year I haven't seen Koch's yet.2

Ornitolog, do you know more about birds than flowers?nasmeh I read some more about other differences between both gentians. Koch's should have olive-green stripes with black dots inside the flower. The angle between the petals is rounder than in Clusius's. Lanceolate sepals narrow at the base and are connected by whitish "skin". Especially Koch's doesn't grow on limestone!!! Velkavrh showed you clearly with pics. From all data, maybe you can figure out which one. Regards

Greetings,

oh yes, birds are much closer to me nasmeh if you ever manage to catch one in the lens, I'll gladly help identify it.

I started with mountain flowers this year, so I'll probably send some "unknowns" many more times. The first such is the upper gentian, photographed between Twin Lake and Ledvica Lake. I checked lots of literature and pics of both gentian types. The only still visible feature on the photo is the sepals. They match Koch's gentian.
That limestone base doesn't suit Koch's gentian, I noted. Although on the above attached photo of Koch's gentian it grows directly from limestone rock.

Yes, Apolonija, that bottom left on your picture interests me too, as my husband found it yesterday on Kamniški vrh. Attaching his photo, where next to it there's also a white one beside, which I think might be kosmuljek. The whole meadow under Kamniški vrh was full of these white and pink flowers.
And something else I forgot: Apolonija, thanks for dermoto, I didn't see your reply before, as I just arrived from Vrbanove špice and Rjavina. And tomorrow more flowers from here...

zlatica, that's garlic. Mine is keeled (Allium carinatum carinatum), yours probably other subspecies - beautiful garlic (Allium carinatum pulchellum). Difference? Mine has green buds in the middle of inflorescence, which aren't seen on this pic, yours probably doesn't have them. You're right about kosmuljek. I'll wait impatiently for your pics. Regards
