Which flower is this?

otiv23. 08. 2015 08:14:46

Nothing new for you, Apolinija, but a bit for the soul anyway. nasmeh

zlatica23. 08. 2015 09:02:08

Otiv, thanks, it did good to my soul too after these grayer days.. mežikanje

otiv23. 08. 2015 09:12:10

Glad to hear that, Zlatica. Hope you're a bit better now after all troubles. nasmeh

Apolonija23. 08. 2015 09:24:42

otiv, I enjoy even the old known, especially if shot so wonderfully. Plants step powerfully into the foreground and say: "Here we are. See our beauty" nasmeh

otiv23. 08. 2015 09:46:58

Thanks, Apolonija! Nicely written and true.
I have some homework too velik nasmeh

and will post it towards evening.
Nice Sunday to all. nasmeh

The wife is more enthusiastic about wildlife, as her photo shows.

palček plezalček23. 08. 2015 11:00:06

Saturday morning supposed to be clear wasn't ideal for landscape pics. Some close shots made anyway.

otiv23. 08. 2015 15:11:55

I browsed the internet a bit and found some names for my flowers from Menina, so there won't be much homework. velik nasmeh

They're probably all known to you, but not to me at first.
The new camera is a chapter of its own, it's too smart, and I'm unskilled with menus, so there are some poorer shots. I hope the handling improves, and the pictures too.

Hairy gentian in company of German gentian

Yellow loosestrife in company of globeflower

palček plezalček23. 08. 2015 15:35:31

Sedmica is super, flowers with bugs are awesome nasmeh

Apolonija23. 08. 2015 19:38:50

"....so there won't be much homework." Otiv, you didn't leave us anything but the butterfly velik nasmeh

I don't know either where this caterpillar is from. Pictures are really excellent, especially the grasshopper, as little climbing dwarf already points out.

But I thought you joined the Muslims, kneeling and "bowing" like that.
Wife's pictures are good too. How the black horse commands all the cattle!

little climbing dwarf, praise to you too. Just add the names, please.

otiv23. 08. 2015 19:53:39

@palček plezalček, thanks! You have a good eye too. nasmeh

Apolonija, I haven't gotten to the homework yet. velik nasmeh

Which deadnettle is it? German or common

Apolonija23. 08. 2015 22:00:49

Otiv, you gave too hard homework for Sunday evening velik nasmeh

Sviščevec: Yes, either German or cup-shaped. (Not Austrian, as you already judged.)
Hard to tell from pictures. Cup-shaped has short hairs on bracts, German doesn't. Maybe visible on pics 6, 8 (or not). See them? Maybe on 8.

Smetlika: common or stiff? Common differs from stiff by larger flowers and glandular-hairy bracts on flower support leaves and calyx. See the bracts or not? I think not. Vito, need even more macro velik nasmeh

Rumenka: Could be common catsear (Hypochaeris radicata)

otiv23. 08. 2015 22:16:29

Apolonija, thanks for the explanation of sviščevec and smetlika and the name of rumenka. nasmeh

I myself have a hard time identifying the plant name from pictures, especially those with many similar varieties. That I need a better macro I've already figured out myself. velik nasmeh

zlatica27. 08. 2015 08:51:58

Hello, since I see there's been drought here for a few days, let me cheer your eyes with some flowers from Volči potok a few days ago.... velik nasmeh

Apolonija27. 08. 2015 09:28:16

Zlatica, these flowers are nice too- marsh hibiscus, lily, various dahlias, cosmos, ageratum, gladiolus...

zlatica27. 08. 2015 20:09:56

Uuuh, Apolonija, you really are an expert, I only recognized dahlias and cosmos... but I liked it because each flower is unique with luxurious color combinations and shapes. Nature is truly miraculous lp velik nasmeh

otiv27. 08. 2015 20:20:07

@zlatica, nice flowers!

I went a bit higher and found some more flowers. Won't write the place, first picture says it all. nasmeh

zlatica28. 08. 2015 08:59:00

Otiv, did you find pogačica and carnations too? Yes, I see riddles are still close to your heart, but for the visually impaired like me right now, I still don't know if you reigned high above Bohinj or somewhere else..??' zmeden

otiv28. 08. 2015 09:21:11

Good morning!

We strolled over the peaks above Soriska Planina and enjoyed it 100%, as we like to say. velik nasmeh

We even found blueberries. nasmeh

The pogačica was probably a reward, as it was the last little flower we found on the way back to the car.

It's not Zlatica's houseleek, but montane houseleek. I'll write the names later and there are some rocks too.

Please help: are these hawthorn fruits?

Apolonija28. 08. 2015 12:41:12

You know otiv, hawthorn has lobed and smaller leaves nasmeh

Are these fruits from the bush in picture 7 above?

Probably some rowan.

otiv28. 08. 2015 14:00:58

Thanks, Apolonija.

My "hawthorn fruits" seemed bigger to me and they grew almost at ground level, so I thought of something else, not rowan, which is usually a tree.
