Otiv, how beautiful it is. That's the common herb Christopher (Actaea spicata)!

Apolonija, thanks for solving my problem. 
In return  here are some shots of the summer great bellflower, which I took yesterday right near Ljubljana.

Apolonija, thanks.
I missed the sunshine yesterday on the meadow though, for the shots to be even more magical. Maybe I'll redo them in the sun.

Branko, you're right about "yellow nettle". On the flowers page from Kamniški vrh maintained by Alenka Mihorič, I found that the correct name is mountain yellow nettle. As for the unknown, with Apolonija's help we figured it's oilseed rape or charlock that blew into the nearby woods. But how do you distinguish hairy hawkweed from the others? Congrats on the wedge-leaved saxifrage, since you found it flowering in the wild, I only have it in my rock garden . As for the toothed sow-thistle, isn't the slightly angular stem the distinguishing feature from others, while similar thistles have round stems? You surely checked that, as you can't see it in the photo. Best

Branko, I'll chat a bit with you to chase away the sadness. It's snowing here and my plants ...?
Regarding the dead nettles and yellows, you explain it nicely,
http://www.zaplana.net/flowers/Lamiaceae/GaleobdolonMontanum(GorskaRumenka)/si_GaleobdolonMontanum(GorskaRumenka).asp
which you surely know. But you yourself wrote on 12 garden variegated nettle, although it's probably silver yellow archangel.
Zlatica's yellow unknown can't be clover. Her plant has 4 petals and a lanceolate leaflet is visible near the inflorescence. It's most similar to oilseed rape.
Especially riverbanks are overgrown with Japanese knotweed, an alien highly invasive plant that should be eradicated promptly. In various parts of Slovenia it has conquered large areas due to our indifference. And that's your unknown.
4- you say it's meadow cranesbill. I think you're wrong. Meadow cranesbill has more incised leaflets. These leaves are like those of dusky cranesbill. I'm sure it's also that one on 4. We know blue variants too (Geranium phaeum ssp. lividum).
And congrats for going on a walk and taking photos in the rain.
PS: How do you know neighbors don't have ordinary comfrey?

What if it's simply Carniolan spurge?

We distinguish hairy cinquefoil by the stem - it is covered with hairs. It never grows in a meadow. It likes shade and moisture.

Miri got away with it well. I'd expect everything white with such snowfall yesterday. How are forests on your end. In our town quite a few broken branches.

Yes, on that slope snow slid down, so most flowers undamaged. Snowing stopped just in time. Some branches broke. What 10 cm more snow would mean, we can only imagine.

Today along the path to Slavnik noticed something unusual on juniper. Is it some disease?
|
|
|
|
| Guest29. 04. 2016 19:19:49 |
In some way it seems like a parasite or some kind of "fungus" - mushroom. Does it attack whole branches or just individual spots?
|
|
|
|
| Apolonija29. 04. 2016 20:55:40 |
"Pear rust is actually a less dangerous fungal disease, against which we usually don't even spray, as it appears relatively rarely. We mention it mainly because sometimes strong attacks occur in gardens, near parks or cemeteries, where they grow stinking juniper and other ornamental juniper species. The fungus indeed needs two host plants for full development - pear and stinking or some other juniper, but never attacks common juniper...."

Today I was wandering around Jamnik late in the afternoon and took pictures of some nice little flowers, and at the end also a night view of the church. I'm most interested in the types of orchids and the blue flower (I think it's one of the speedwells).

The night picture enchanted me.
It's field pansy, pogačica, speedwell. Too bad there are no leaves in the picture for the last one, same for the orchids. I know it's hard because they grow among the grass. The yellow one is elder finger orchid, the red one could be too. Regards
