Good morning! I'm doing my own hikes now on purpose. I went looking for Kamnik houseleek and found it of course. I already knew locations on Krvavec, Planina Dolga Njiva, Grebenc Ježa, and Veliki Zvoh. I didn't go to Planina Dolga Njiva, nor to the top of Krvavec, because it flowers there. But I found huge locations on Planina Košutna and then along the entire path from Planina Košutna towards the junction of paths to Kompotela and Vrh Korena.
Let me also do a full botanical review of the hike.
Above Planina Jezerce there are no more gentians-all have finished blooming. But there are still lots of orchids-I can't distinguish them yet-that's a task for next year-and common lady's slipper. I even found a white variant. But there are plenty of green and white hellebores and of course a bunch of herb pickers for teas. They mainly pick wild thyme and bedstraw or sundew. Liverleaf is already finished here. Higher up it still blooms. They don't know liverleaf much. I don't notice globeflowers yet. On the hiking path from Planina Jezerce to Kriška Planina, above the path on the slope, Wulfen's and tall bellflower bloom in spring. Along the path we find common mountain flowers-willow gentian, edelweiss, alpine sowbread-lily not seen. Before Kriška Planina I turn right under the ski tunnel at Kržišče. Here are lots of pickers. At the parking lot at Planina Jezerce I've never seen so many cars. The lower parking lot is already full. Here I find golden cinquefoil and even already leaves of cross gentian. Then follows a forest path towards Planina Koren. Here I find a surprise-July lousewort, which I hadn't found in the Krvavec area before. Among the undergrowth blooms plane-leaved golden saxifrage, I find even pale rosette and heart-leaved fly orchid, full of club-headed hawkweed. Under the hunting hut a whole herd of cattle is grazing. I've never seen them here before. Higher up there were none. I somehow skip Planina Koren. Right at the beginning of Planina Košutna is my goal-huge locations of Kamnik houseleek. I hadn't found them here before. Among them are gentians. On Planina Košutna there is plenty of Clusius' and spring gentian, I find even a location of fragrant hellebore, stemless gentian, alpine snowbell, I find pink adder's tongue, globeflower, alpine buttercup, blackhead, Austrian pink dandelion, egg capsules. On Vrh Korena I find the first blooming rockjasmine-corky rockjasmine. In the forest undergrowth I had already found of course also wedge-leaved and round-leaved. Other rockjasmines not blooming yet-otherwise here I find a couple of species from evergreen to Host's. On Grebenc Ježa then I find rock gentian, small pimpernel, pearl, alpine andromeda. I also find a location of Host's rockjasmine, which grows in this area only on Grebenc Ježa around those chains nicely in the shade-of course not blooming yet. I also find a location of Vanež in that grassy hollow on Grebenc Ježa. Here I find globeflowers, obviously still too early, since I didn't see any blooming-I saw leaves though. Vanež grows here only on steep slopes under the fence at Razor pass under Veliki Zvoh. Along the paved path to Veliki Zvoh there are otherwise full of small bellflowers and other small stuff-now nothing blooming yet.
Next time to Planina Dolga Njiva and further across Kalški Grebenc to Kalška Gora.
