Which flower is this?

otiv9. 05. 2015 14:49:58

....until then Brane, here are some of my alpine avens and other little flowers from Črni vrh. Yesterday I noticed slightly yellow narcissi too, maybe one day they will all be yellow. nasmeh

Otiv, you must repeat nasmeh

Velkavrh, it's goat cherry, specifically purging buckthorn or purging goat cherry (Rhamnus cathartica). Goat cherry=buckthorn

We have quite a few species of buckthorns: common buckthorn (Rhamnus frangula), dwarf goat cherry (Rhamnus pumilus), branched goat cherry (Rhamnus saxatilis), Kranj goat cherry (Rhamnus fallax).....lp

Otiv, no. 20 is three-leaved bittercress. Where exactly were you so enthusiastic about the unforgettable narcissi? zmeden

Thanks, @zlatica. Don't you know the Rovte under Golica? nasmeh

zlatica9. 05. 2015 17:12:40

Otiv, not all of them...they can be above too velik nasmeh

otiv9. 05. 2015 17:16:51

There really are a lot of them, I think more than the fingers on our hands. nasmeh

Today already almost a real mountain pink greeting from Lipanca.

Spring marmot already at Mrzli Studenec.

There is also a huge amount of tall gentian here.

White crocus or snowdrop already from the Kranjska dolina pasture.

There is also a lot of early primrose here.

There is also a lot of penuša here. I don't know the exact name - the meadow one is taller and usually slightly pinkish. This one is white.

It could be mountain zlatica. The habitat is right.

In the forest along the path over rocks there is plenty of wedge-leaved kamnokreč.

Nearby there is also hostov kamnokreč - recognizable by characteristic leaves.

On Lipanca itself we won't see auricula. It grows below Lipanca along the southern path on the rocky outcrop. We only need to know the path there.

We need to follow the forest mountain road starting from Rudno polje, then the marked path leads to Lipanca.

On Lipanca itself, however, there is plenty of common alpine bellflower.

Here there is always the smallest alpine bellflower as well.

Just before the hut on Planina Lipanca, the first alpine rampions.

It flowers best on the eastern approach path before we spot the pasture - alpine saw-wort.

Above the path, it is sufficiently moist for two-flowered violet to bloom alongside alpine saw-wort.

Here I also see alternate-leaved golden-saxifrage.

We recognize it by its characteristic leaves, which no other golden-saxifrage has.

velkavrh, nice flowers you found. Alpine bellflowers are a real embellishment, 22 is really exceptional, like a satellite antenna. Nice of you to often mention some special feature of the flower by which you recognize it or it differs from similar species, like e.g. fragrant saxifrage. nasmeh

velkavrh11. 05. 2015 05:20:41

Good morning! Yes saxifrages are demanding to identify. In Slovenia as many as 36 species grow with some subspecies. Among yellow ones it's not hard to separate the bastard and fragrant ones, as they have different leaves. Fragrant one I saw only in Croatia at Klek. Meadow one is abundant all over our meadows - it's poisonous. Dried, it doesn't harm livestock, as toxins are destroyed by drying. In shade in moist and also in mid-mountains in such conditions we find hairy saxifrage. Creeping one we have around house as annoying weed. Higher saxifrages are already problem to identify. That's about yellow ones.

I'm more excited by white species. Interesting is the one floating in Double Lake at hut At Triglav Lakes - that's hairy-leaved water saxifrage. Often we see Traunfellner's. Alpine and Seguier's we find in Karawanks. I apparently haven't seen them yet. Glacial and sorrel-leaved don't grow here and some more lower whites that Hoppe mentions in his handbook I have. Of higher ones we mainly see plane-leaved which is common. Saxifrages I think I presented in pictures once last year or year before.

zlatica11. 05. 2015 09:41:57

Some flowers from yesterday's hike to Kriška gora and Tolsti vrh, where early spring still reigns... but I couldn't identify all the little flowers after all, so welcome experts! best regards mežikanje

velkavrh11. 05. 2015 10:49:04

zlatica

no.1-dusky cranesbill-Geranium phaeum-plenty of it also in valleys-most common.

no. 2-spring heath-Erica carnea

no. 5-8-wood bittercress-Cardamine flexuosa-recognized by leaves

Best regards.

zlatica11. 05. 2015 14:58:28

Brane, you're super. best regards nasmeh

Apolonija11. 05. 2015 17:42:29

Zlatica, oh! That wood bittercress is actually alpine bittercress. Bittercress leaves are more roundish and toothed, grow on the stem too. Next to flowers seed pods are quickly visible. nice pictures! nasmeh

velkavrh11. 05. 2015 18:07:43

These bittercresses confused me a bit. Yes, it's alpine bittercress. Haven't seen it this year yet.

zlatica11. 05. 2015 20:15:01

Anyway, Apolonija and Branko, thanks to both, since in collaboration there is strength and knowledge. I then went to look in Flora Alpina, but the height of bittercress didn't match for me, since this my flower was really only 3-4 cm high, and flowers were clustered in a cushion like some low alpine plant, only much more fragile. Bittercress wasn't similar to that. Important is that it got sorted out.. With all this studying and searching you just remember the flower even better. nasmeh

Apolonija11. 05. 2015 21:12:51

Zlatica, you said it nicely and I agree with you.
Brane, yes it is. Lately bittercresses were present every day in nature, pictures and thoughts and when you see 4 petals, sometimes it's hard to "switch". nasmeh

otiv11. 05. 2015 21:42:56

Ratitovec is always generous with flowers.

otiv, Burser's saxifrage pulls me like I don't know what. I somehow don't have luck to see it in such abundance. Years ago I saw a nice bunch on Storžič, but the photo was really bad. Last years I haven't seen it on Storžič. Maybe I miss it here because it blooms far ahead as the first among saxifrages, only the wedge-leaved one catches up somehow. Last year I found only a few poor flowers under Vodnik's hut. Tinky photographed it on Storžič a day or so ago. I'll see if we see it on Brinica on Saturday if weather doesn't cross our plans - forecast isn't very promising.

Apolonija12. 05. 2015 07:17:58

I see I'll have to go to Ratitovec. Burser's saxifrage tempts me too (Saxifraga burseriana).
Otiv, where the question mark is, it's five-lobed hemp-nettle. Regards

The photos are really unique. Congratulations.
