Apolonija29. 05. 2015 23:19:09

common fraxinella Dictamnus albus

otiv30. 05. 2015 10:06:43

Apolonija, of course she was with me, we just walked on foot... I wasn't on a white horse. velik nasmeh

francimedved30. 05. 2015 14:39:16

Otiv nice pictures you made, too bad we missed each other, and both walked there where there are the most flowers.

zlatica30. 05. 2015 19:33:50

Some flowers from today from Rakov Škocjan.... And again, to make it more colorful, there were some among them whose names I don't know zmeden

water iris (Iris pseudacorus), characteristic of Cerkniško jezero

water iris, the only yellow representative among Slovenian irises

@zlatica, didn't you see any fish? velik nasmeh

And some more of my unknowns from Struška, if you know them, we'll all be happy. nasmeh

zlatica30. 05. 2015 21:08:05

Otiv, yeah, no little fish in sight...
Otherwise, isn't 1-3 that interesting Jurassic crane's-bill that you already found with Branko on Zelenica, just now it's already in bloom? nasmeh

Apolonija30. 05. 2015 21:27:11

Zlatica, did you find it? Tuberous crane's-bill. nasmeh

Otiv, Zlatica is right. Then there's also alpine cinquefoil, hairy rockcress and rock edelweiss. nasmeh

zlatica30. 05. 2015 22:34:06

Apolonija, good evening, as always, your word holds true. Crane's-bill flowers are so interesting and beautiful...and there are so many species of them.. Now I just need to get to know dovefoot crane's-bill. mežikanje

velkavrh31. 05. 2015 06:05:23

otiv, no. 5 is the alpine cinquefoil. The two-coloured cinquefoil is very similar. Here the flower colour isn't visible, because we distinguish them only by flower colour.

Since I know where you were, I know it's the Carinthian edelweiss-no.8-9. For the Carinthian, this branched growth with long stems is characteristic.

For 4.,6., and 7, from the flowers we see they are flowers from the crucifer genus. For 6. and 7. I figure it's hairy rockcress-Arabis hirsuta. I've found it myself too. For no. 4 though I can't see the whole plant with stem and leaves. I know that just a macro shot of the flower doesn't explain unknown flowers, always with an unknown flower you need to take a photo of the whole plant too, preferably stem, leaves and leaf rosette if it has one, separately. The leaf rosette especially often reveals the mystery.

Crane's-bills are my absolute favourite flowers. Somewhere I read that this genus includes 400 species. I saw the tuberous one last year too on the way to Vremščica in that forest that was still felled last year-this year it was all cleared up. This year I was there too early and didn't see it. At home in the garden I have several cultivated species-none from the wild. I also have two varieties of rhizomatous ones, which I first saw in the wild last year on the way to Lopič-Italy and nowhere else so far. Crane's-bills prefer partial shade rather than full sun, but they thrive in sun too, just need moisture for nice growth-they spread quite a lot too, especially the rhizomatous. A few years ago I had the Dalmatian one, which is almost white and grows wild in Dalmatia. It's supposed to be a hybrid discovered in Croatia-Geranium x cantabrigiense "Biokovo". But I don't have bloody, meadow and brown-veined ones, which grow well if you transplant them from wild to garden. All three can be bought cultivated too.

My favorite garden cranesbill - Geranium Jonson s Blue.

It has such a beautiful flower. It is a hybrid of G. himalayense and G. pratense.

I have two varieties of rhizomatous cranesbill that do not differ much in flower, only one grows taller.

But I also have this blue one. Probably cultivated woodland. I don't know exactly.

A few years ago I had another lower blue one.

This is the flower of blood-red cranesbill that grows around my home.

There are also many stinking cranesbills.

On the nearby meadow grows meadow cranesbill, which is more typical for higher locations.

Rusty cranesbills are the most common in lowlands.

When we go to the mountains, we soon spot beautiful blue woodland cranesbills at the starting points - beautiful with their blueness.

If we go to Črna prst, we enjoy the beauty of silver cranesbills.

We can even buy seedlings - cultivated. In nature, this species of cranesbill is protected.

We see Pyrenean cranesbill in the valley.

I reviewed photos of rož around my home, but I don't have nicer ones than the golobje and pirenejske - this is the krvavordeča once again.

For the end just a photo of the forest krvomočnica from last year on the trip via Komarče to Mahavšček, then down the serpentines.

I forgot to add this little beauty that I found last year on the trip to Vremščica.

Exceptionally beautiful, this year I was apparently too early there. Noded cranesbill - Geranium nodosum.

@zlatica, Apolonija, Brane, thanks to all for help with the names.

Have a nice Sunday everyone.

velkavrh31. 05. 2015 07:06:36

Unfortunately it's rainy, at least around Kranj unfortunately-nothing doing with Bled or Bohinj.

zlatica31. 05. 2015 07:14:46

What a palette of crane's-bills you've served us, Branko! Nice. Just one more question: are pics 5-7 also handsome thistle, even though the heads are reddish? Haven't come across these colours in literature? Interested in your opinion. zmeden

otiv31. 05. 2015 07:35:50

Brane, will it be easier now for the unknown crucifer. nasmeh

There was also a white one nearby.

Apolonija31. 05. 2015 08:22:02

Good morning! Brane, true, it's raining in Bled too. Adding some of my observations.

I like geraniums too. I have experience that most thrive better in the sun, some in partial shade, depending on species and variety.

Cinquefoil. As far as I know, alpine and two-coloured cinquefoil aren't distinguished exactly by flower colour, but by leaf colour. Alpine is green underneath, two-coloured white-felted. In the picture in the middle bottom you can see the underside of the leaf.

Brane, by what do you judge that it is Carinthian mouse-ear chickweed? By flowers, leaves or just location? I'm just getting to know mouse-ear chickweeds better. I know the rock one is endemic to Karavanke (and KSA).

otiv, in my opinion it can't be determined which crucifer it is. If only the leaves were visible. First thought when you see pink (and white flowers) is rock-jasmine.

Zlatica, by the leaves and nodding heads of your thistle I'd say it "smells" like handsome thistle. Coloration not pronounced. Has it started rotting? Is it some hybrid?
Maybe someone knows more???

zlatica31. 05. 2015 09:02:48

Apolonija, I thought of that too, that this thistle is already quite old - judging by the flower, but in real life it didn't look "rotten" at all. Last year I saw a lot of them on the way to Pršivec in various conditions, but none had even a hint of red tint, so I'm leaning towards your latter option that maybe something crossed. Of course I know too little about all stages of this plant. Thanks for thinking and best regards nasmeh

Apolonija31. 05. 2015 09:35:53

zltica, on this link it says that sometimes purple ones are also found - if you look at the pictures:

zlatica31. 05. 2015 09:41:00

Apolonija, you are phenomenal, here, that's it, I didn't think that was possible...purple or pink, we'd say, the French are good and you who find everything. Thanks to you for all of us, now we know we have that one too. Nice is this rainy day velik nasmeh

I was dealing with chickweeds already two years ago and somehow there should be 24 species growing in nature here. Indeed there are that many in the register of Slovenian flora by Darinka Trpin and Branko Vreš. I reviewed that register. Koroška is the most common in KSA and Karavanke. Similar to rigid Cerastium strictum - feature - hairy stems, more flowers, non-flowering shoots longer than flowering ones. I'll photograph them more accurately this summer.

Rock ones I think we can't mix up. In KSA we surely find them in rocks.

One-flowered we'll find around Triglav.

Soča one is a specialty of that area.
