Which flower is this?

katty8. 06. 2015 22:54:09

Hi... somehow can't decide which gentian it is,,, very similar to Wulfen's but has inflorescence so more flowers on stem.. found near Rodica

Dleskovec, no rockjasmine 1,2,3 velik nasmeh

, only 1. On other two pics probably speedwell.

Otiv, cortusa already blooming? Not at my place yet.

Katty, looks like Carniolan gentian or hybrid between it and Wulfen's.

katty, I think by flowers it will be marsh or long-flowering gentian. Since only top flowers visible can't determine exactly. Both grow in this area. Carniolan gentian doesn't grow here.

otiv9. 06. 2015 06:03:39

Good morning!

Apolonija, see we have different pics. velik nasmeh

Apolonija9. 06. 2015 06:48:36

Brane, I know Carniolan gentian supposedly doesn't grow here, as it's endemic to Trnovski gozd, Idrija.... but flower shape, petals, white throat, ratio of flower size to height remind me of it (except maybe color). Long-flowering probably not, one flower shown sideways. Marsh? Interesting to see whole plant pic. Marsh has very small flowers, katty says similar to Wulfen's. That has much larger than marsh. No beard visible either. Hard to say from photo though.
Katty, what do you think? Know marsh one? Could it be? Easier to compare and decide if you see gentians in nature.

otiv9. 06. 2015 07:08:09

It is also characteristic of marsh gentian that it grows on moist soils. Where I found it, it was always quite wet. Katty might know this if she paid any attention to the surroundings.

Apolonija9. 06. 2015 07:49:00

Right, otiv. Probably it will cool a bit in the coming days and hiking in the mountains will be easier again nasmeh

Can someone please help me, what flower is this? I get lost among buttercups and similar, and don't know anymore how to search for it online. Can't find it in books either.

Apolonija9. 06. 2015 13:58:38

Look among mountain buttercups (Ranunculus montanus). One of the features is the sepals that are not turned outwards.

This gentian was found on the northern slope, on sand under pines at approx. 1750 m. Lower leaves are thicker, more lanceolate light green... It somehow doesn't resemble any known gentian to me... Flowers most resemble Wulfen's, only they are on pedicels, marsh gentian has different petal shape, likewise the Idrija one mežikanje

Closer view, here the leaves are clearly visible.

katty10. 06. 2015 12:18:52

Yes, yes, but in this case the stems are tall around 10 cm, while Wulfen's primrose has short ones, on which there is usually one, at most two flowers. Rarely more.

otiv10. 06. 2015 16:45:37

@katty, I browsed more among primroses and found yours very similar to hairy primrose, which supposedly grows only on Komna. Another similar is Daon primrose and I think it's that one you found. Just a guess based on flowers, for exact identification would need to analyze leaves too.

velkavrh10. 06. 2015 17:50:44

Very interesting puzzle, this primrose. It won't be hairy, because the hairy one is shorter and has wider leaves. Daon grows only in Italy - not confirmed here and I don't know it. It would be interesting to check Flora Alpina.

katty10. 06. 2015 18:11:30

Regarding the leaves, one more thing: they are really similar to Wolfraven's and not serrated like the Carniolan. If it helps someone, I can send the original picture to someone, as in the enlargement the leaves are nicely and clearly visible.

Apolonija10. 06. 2015 20:24:19

katty, you've stirred our "scene" with this primrose. Not Kranjski, because it doesn't grow here and doesn't have the same leaves, kuštravi doesn't like limestone, is rare, has "hairy leaves" and doesn't grow here at all. Not the smallest, not moknati nor long-flowering either... Leaves just like wulfen, flowers too. Problem is more than 2 flowers on one stem and if I understand correctly, tall (?).
otiv, can you write the Latin name of Daon primrose, because I can't find it under that name.
possibilities.
- there are primroses we don't know and it's one of them
- it's wulfen under these conditions
- hybrid between wulfen and some other

Solution? Maybe FA or a botanist nasmeh

Good evening!

Daon primrose - Primula daonensis, I looked at Google pics and they are very similar to those that Katty photographed.

Today I was in Polhograjci and found many flowers, of course known. Tomorrow morning I will upload.

Has anyone thought of photomontage? nasmeh

bačo10. 06. 2015 20:36:58

Hi Apolonija and other flower hunters hehe... Yeah this primula is really interesting... I spotted it a few meters above the path and it caught my eye just because of the stems which are about 10 cm high ... Katty climbed higher and photographed it, it really is interesting.. And nowhere around was there anything similar... Wulfen's was already past bloom... It has slightly smaller flowers... Hope the puzzle gets solved, I've noted the location lp

bačo10. 06. 2015 20:42:09

Daon primrose isn't it because leaves are larger and don't have smooth edges
