Which flower is this?

velkavrh31. 05. 2015 13:52:06

zlatica, I owe you the hairy speedwell too.

This one was taken at the bivouac below Grintavec.

zlatica31. 05. 2015 20:04:46

Vekavrh@, you are kind. I like it when you present us visually and verbally different subspecies of one flower, because that way we notice differences more easily. The hairy speedwells are really special and I don't remember seeing them before. Of course sometimes I wasn't so attentive to everything growing. Now my eye has sharpened a bit (I'm more attentive to little flowers) and I must say that if it crosses my path anywhere, I'll surely notice it. Well, see Branko, it wasn't raining all day after all. regards nasmeh

Good evening! I like that a lot too, because you can compare similarities and look for differences that way.

Brane, for you, after the rain, your favorite little flowers, bloodworts.

it's the first one that came to your mind, right?

velkavrh31. 05. 2015 21:30:27

It's true, Apolonija, the first is -Biokovo-. I see you also have that one which grows in nature in the forest towards Vremščica.

Velkavrh, now is the time for short-haired popkoresa.

Short-haired popkoresa (Moehringia villosa)

On the way to Ambrož under Krvavec there were quite a few flowers today, usual for this time, mostly meadow ones, as there were still many nice unmown meadows full of flowers. In the forest part though I came across two plants that I can't determine even the family they belong to, let alone the species, for the broomrape I'd like your more precise identification. Thanks in advance., velik nasmeh

Zlatica, broomrapes are parasites and get their name from the plant they "feed on". So from the picture it's hard to say for sure which one it is- my opinion.

Then you have a leaf rosette with seeds of autumn crocus. You know, in autumn on meadows there are only flowers similar to spring saffron, in spring the leaves sprout. Autumn crocus is very poisonous, some have mistaken it for wild garlic. Sometimes people collected seeds for pharmacy because they use its alkaloids (gout).

The other unknown is small-flowered mullein- Verbascum thapsus nasmeh

Ah, Apolonija, you've explained it nicely. Broomrapes are really parasites, Alenka M. lists the species, so I thought they could be identified by flower color and shape. Obviously it's not that simple. The autumn crocus surprises me, since I can hardly grasp that such a tiny flower then has such a huge leaf rosette and abundant seeds. Do only some plants seed like that, as there are tons of hawkweeds, but that rosette was just one? For the mullein I had a slight suspicion, but I know precisely this small-flowered one the least. Anyway, thanks a lot for the clear explanations. mežikanje

By color and growth it can probably be determined if you have experience, even better if you look at the plants around. Nežni has brownish-red flower interiors, yours doesn't. Maybe Brane knows more.

Yesterday up to Črna Prst looking for short-haired popkoresa, unfortunately the weather messed it up for me. Valley sunny, but when I get to Črna Prst then clouds, fog, thunder, lightning, so I didn't start exploring around Črni vrh but blew off to the sun in the valley via planina Osredki. Found though near Orožnova koča a rare yellow flower - alpine golcec, which a local botanik showed me some year ago, who co-created the botanical path. He showed me then where on Lisec to look for alpine moonwort.

Soon below at the beginning of the path it strongly smells of fields of sturdy silene.

For the first time this year I see live the beautiful flower of the woodland hepatica.

I'm already at Orož's hut on Za Lisecem pasture - mother's thyme is already blooming. Just right for tea, but it's not here yet.

But here I find a rare yellow flower - alpine goltec.

Alpine goltec - Tozzia alpina - belongs among the črnobinovke.

I'm already on the botanical path - first tablets with flower names are already placed - Koroška zlatica.

On a crag by the path I climbed for a shot of July flax - first time I've seen it this year.

There is plenty of common rose root along the entire botanical path.

Here we have a sea of alpine kosmatinec.

The yellow gentian or deer gentian is already marked. Which of the two species it is will be seen only at flowering.

We find bulbous anemone in all phases of flowering.

Škržolica - hairy or hare-leaved - it will be seen only at flowering. The hare-leaved is not hairy on the flower.

Aubrieta or beautiful speedwell still delights us on the rocks.

There is much hybrid zlatica - it is very common in our subalpine and alpine regions.

Towards the top of Črna prst on the edge there is huge amount of alpine velesa on the rocky ground.

I'm already below the hut on Črna prst - in two or three weeks silver krvomočnica blooms here - a botanical rarity here and in Slovenia I don't know if it's found anywhere else.

Three large-flowered yellow globeflowers are similar - I haven't figured them out exactly yet - golden, Cratzev's and large-flowered. The one in the middle didn't have an orange spot, so probably not golden.

Here on Črna prst I find some small-flowered edelweiss, definitely not the Carinthian one.

Already on the descent towards the Osredki pasture, I find Traunfellner's golden saxifrage for the first time this year.

Kerner's orchid, which we identified already at Zelenica.

Already in the forest I see round-leaved saxifrage, not to mention wedge-leaved. This one I really found in full bloom on the Osredki pasture.

Around the shepherd's hut, stable broom always grows.

Along the road by the rocks, then I see this škržolica.

Sufficiently clear to determine which one it is.

On the rocks along the road, rock Kerner's primrose blooms - also seeing it for the first time this year.

Branko, nice learning path you've prepared for us and of course taught me something again. When you mentioned the silver crane's-bill, let me say I saw a lot of it last year in mid-July on the path from planina Kuhinja to Krn. little greeting nasmeh

Hello flower lovers! nasmeh

Today I wandered around Velika Planina and there was plenty to see nasmeh

. Didn't discover America, but focused mainly on primroses, which are everywhere. For spring flowers you need to descend into some sinkhole and the vegetation will properly surprise you, as it did me. There's quite a bit of material, so I won't manage to upload everything today.
The first little flower is unknown to me and I ask for the name.

velkavrh3. 06. 2015 20:34:05

otiv, from no. 1 to 10 you have wedge-leaved rockcress. It loves shade and there's loads of it. Besides it the round-leaved rockcress also loves shade, which flowers first along with bursarjev blossom and we encounter them at the start of mountain paths along trails. The wedge-leaved likes growing on damp rocks.
