Which flower is this?

zlatica20. 05. 2015 07:56:54

Apolonija, good morning, could you maybe fill in the gaps in my knowledge of the upper flowers? I'd be grateful. nasmeh

Branko, you were so busy with your flowers that surely right now you have no space for others.. zmeden

Apolonija20. 05. 2015 14:11:25

Zlatica, I wasn't home. I'll tell what I know or think I know velik nasmeh

13, 14, similar to the scarlet-red one, but no. It's helmeted cuckoo-flower.

21, 22, 23- common milkwort - (look how leaves are "tied")

25, 26- Tommasini's goat's beard (Tragopogon tommasinii)

In our nature grow divergent star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum divergens), Koch's star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum kochii), Pyrenean star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum pyrenaicum) and spiked star-of-Bethlehem (Ornithogalum umbellatum).
Which one on the photo? Based on location (since other difference not visible - leaves around bulb not seen), it would be Koch's, although probably just divergent. Flowers don't seem to be at the same height to me.
For zlatica I'd need more time, don't know by heart. Regards nasmeh

Ah, Apolonija, you always brighten my day. That's exactly what I needed, the definition for 13 and 14 wasn't quite sitting right, now you've put it in the right place, yes, helmeted cuckoo-flower! Thanks. So 21, milkwort - excellent explanation for the name. For 25 I thought of goat's beard, but just as one option. Star-of-Bethlehem is even more complicated if you don't have exact photos.
No. 11 and 12 is probably some thistle, right? Be well velik nasmeh

Apolonija, didn't you go to Struska? nasmeh

Next time I'll just write gentian, as my mom taught me and she knew a lot. velik nasmeh

My eye doesn't see big differences, although manuals write all sorts, but I don't know if it all holds, I think not. nasmeh

Below is continuation of yesterday's flower picking. With names I'm so-so. nasmeh

otiv20. 05. 2015 19:19:26

Brane, thanks. I'm glad for your help. nasmeh

zlatica20. 05. 2015 19:55:05

Otiv, the birth of alpine bearberry is truly magical in this photo rendition... nasmeh

Apolonija20. 05. 2015 20:37:07

Let me add my two cents.

Otiv, I seriously thought you and Branta figured out it's Koch's marmot, which would be a rarity for this area. And I even saw some of its characteristics nasmeh

again beautiful pictures:

-Isn't it 21 to 30 lousewort? And the last pictures too?

62, 65- smooth willow (Salix glabra)

66- germander speedwell

72- rockjasmine flower

Zlatica, your plant in my opinion isn't thistle, but knapweed. When I brought this plant home, the next year it bloomed as rock knapweed. Maybe someone else knows more. Regards

otiv20. 05. 2015 20:45:55

Thanks, Apolonija. Now I can sleep peacefully velik nasmeh

Could it be Scopoli's lousewort on the first pictures? zmeden

Apolonija20. 05. 2015 21:03:26

It looks similar, but I don't know if it grows here, more on Karst...Night nasmeh

buffy20. 05. 2015 23:40:58

Orchids give me "slight" problems with names. Photographed on Mali Golica (among narcissi). Photos taken with phone, so probably quality won't be issue for you experts nasmeh

Thanks!

otiv21. 05. 2015 07:20:38

Who doesn't have trouble with orchid names @buffy, I'm always in a dilemma too. For yours I'd say 3 is elder-fingered orchid, 1,2 and 4 fingered orchid. That's my assessment. nasmeh

Apolonija21. 05. 2015 08:21:40

Good morning! buffy, next time smell them too nasmeh

They should smell like elder.

Otiv is right noting that 1 and 4 are elder too, 2 probably also but slightly wilted(?). Elder orchids can be yellow and reddish. Yellow elder should have red-spotted nectar spur, not visible on photo. Since pale orchid like it blooms earlier, it's definitely elder.

velkavrh22. 05. 2015 04:23:27

I got ID for the white flower growing next to alpine sandwort on pasture edge on scree below Vrtača hut at Zelenica - Kerner's helleborine.

otiv22. 05. 2015 06:51:09

Good morning!

Great Brane and solved my issue too... thanks nasmeh

It's Kerner's helleborine on all my pics. Interesting it's supposed to bloom June-July but we found it in May.

Regards nasmeh

zlatica22. 05. 2015 08:23:01

Are these pics 21-30 and 79-85? Otiv, best to label them right away for later viewing.... nasmeh

otiv22. 05. 2015 08:38:06

Ordered, done. nasmeh

buffy22. 05. 2015 17:30:36

Thanks @otiv and @Apolonija! Regarding no. 2 I'm still a bit doubtful. Is it possible that this is the May finger orchid? Its leaves are dotted with dark spots, the others don't have that. Attaching another "ugly" leaf photo. And another flower too - identification needed here zmeden

Leaves with spots. Could this be the May finger orchid?

buffy22. 05. 2015 17:38:18

@otiv and @Apolonija - recommend the page http://www.orhideje-bk.eu.pn/ Worth checking out. Thanks for all the help! nasmeh

This afternoon and over the weekend I'd go somewhere, but the weather will probably prevent it. Svinjak or Ljubljana Marshes were planned but all cancelled. Not bored at home either. Currently I track every day which bearded iris will bloom. We had so many once. Over the years we lost half by transplanting and thinning. Some are left. We also have lots of cultivated mountain flowers. We're still creating the rock garden.
