Which flower is this?

velkavrh20. 05. 2016 09:45:47

Yesterday I was with the group at Škabrijel. Unfortunately the weather was bad - it even rained in between, so the pics are poor - sorry.

There is a lot of Pyrenean star-of-Bethlehem - Ornithogalum pyrenaicum in the forest. Around my home grows similar starfruit bird's milk. I don't know the difference.

In the forest I spotted this flower - it is surely from the Iris genus. Identified - stinking iris.

Common yarrow is already blooming - not yet with us. This one is turning pink.

Alchemilla - distinguished by the leaves.

There was a whole meadow of it - probably common orchid. I didn't see the cuckoo.

The forest is full of heart-leaved orchis. Another unusual orchid.

Betony. Usually we find little on meadows but medicinal - can't distinguish the species.

For tea - motherwort thyme. There are 350 species of motherwort thyme.

Fragrant orchid from the top of Škabrijel.

Triumfett's hawkweed - has brown hairs - by this we distinguish it from similar mountain hawkweed.

I saw this flower already published here. Now we have it identified - resilient loosestrife.

There is a lot of common dittany - Dictamnus albus.

Brane, hi! Despite the rain, you're enjoying it, right?

Let me share my experiences. The bird's milks you mention are really hard to distinguish. The Pyrenean one has more greenish flowers, the berry-fruited one whitish.
The iris you photographed in the forest is the stinking iris (Iris foetidissima). I have it in the garden (cultivated) and it doesn't smell as much as the name suggests - that it's the smelliest. In autumn it has nice orange-red berries.
From the picture it's hard to distinguish oman and primrose. Otherwise, oman is hairy, stem like leaves, as the name says - rough-hairy. The durable separator is in picture 22.
What will bloom (19). Such leaves in a rosette have some globe thistles (Echinops), for example: common globe thistle.

Take more nice photos, even when the sun comes out. It will stop raining eventually nasmeh

If nothing else works, I go for a hike around my home and find all sorts of things. I still always find some flower or blooming shrub that I haven't seen here before.

First time I found this flowering shrub.

I found several about three metres high, actually shrubbery and several bushes.

Identified-honeysuckle-Lonicera maackii.

I find it only on that hill of mine which I regularly check.

Daisy or poppy - I don't know which one.

We recognize it by the characteristic leaves.

This one is from the wild. I also have it in my flower garden - it was purchased.

Drooping-fruited bird's milk, but not yet flowering.

Apolonija21. 05. 2016 22:23:50

Such plants are also interesting, they grow around us. Brane, surely from the flowers you know your shrubs are honeysuckle, I'd say Lonicera maackii, which is quite aggressive.

The unknown one is tower mustard (Arabis glabra).

Have a nice Sunday to you and all other visitors of this forum. nasmeh

dleskovec22. 05. 2016 11:37:17

Hello, "beautiful flowers" friends!
It's nice to hang out with you on this forum, nice to observe how with the warm spring your interest in beautiful flowers grows; mine too.
But first praise to "darinka4" for really quality shots (carnation and...); you nicely captured the background, color tones, depth of field, without disturbing elements. That's why "regor"'s praise hit the essence perfectly. Such shots belong more in the "wonderful nature" section.
"Apolonija" is right too; for expert naming of the plant, more detailed shots need to be added.

Let me add something of my own for greeting;

Apolonija22. 05. 2016 13:23:55

dleskovec, it's not just your primrose that's beautiful, the other two flowers are too.
The orchid is early purple orchid (Orchis mascula).

The Slovenian name seems a bit chauvinistic to me nasmeh

Stasita-mascula??? Can't a woman be stately? nasmeh

velkavrh22. 05. 2016 16:34:55

Today on this beautiful sunny Sunday I wandered through the pastures of Stiška vas, Ambrož, Jezerce plateau, Kriške planine, Kržišče.

There is plenty of spring svišč from Planina Jezerce onwards.

There we also find the first flowers of Clusius' svišč.

There are plenty of these low golden flowers too.

Wulfen's houseleek. It starts above the path from Jezerce pasture towards Kriška planina.

Above this path, they made a clear-cut, so there is little high houseleek.

There is more high houseleek at Kržišče next to the former ski jumps. I didn't go there today.

Extremely small bloody crane's-bill - not sure if it's dove's. Stinking crane's-bill is larger.

Many-flowered columbine - Aquilegia nigricans.

Globeflower or little sun. Probably the egg-shaped one. I can't distinguish it from the large-flowered one.

Next to this one I found only the common and tall orchid. I seem to have missed the pale orchid, as it usually blooms first.

Tall orchid - Orchis mascula subsp. speciosa. I hope I identified it correctly.

The forest is full of fragrant lady's slippers.

Nearby I found the first bird's-nest orchid this year - Neottia nidus-avis.

Thanks Apollonia; again and as always you're right,
both about the cuckoo and women. And so one more:
- when you first hear the cuckoo sing
it's good for the pocket and the heart,
to be dressed with a stately woman....

zlatica26. 05. 2016 07:27:53

Some little flowers from the path through the meadows nasmeh

otiv26. 05. 2016 13:12:23

Lately my health has been bothering me a bit, but I don't give up and so I was on Polhograjska Grmada, where there is abundance of flowers.
Please name the little flower below, which I don't know at all. I didn't photograph the leaf rosette, but leaves are small gray-green. nasmeh

zlatica26. 05. 2016 15:36:36

Otiv,
bloody cranesbill. And also mine from below Kamniški vrh lp velik nasmeh

otiv26. 05. 2016 16:23:16

Zlatica, thanks. nasmeh

Best regards and one more without name. velik nasmeh

Apolonija26. 05. 2016 17:51:40

Otiv, won't you post other little flowers when you have such nice photos? Only unknowns? This has 4 petals, is yellow, "already starting to care for offspring". Remains of Waldsteinia? nasmeh

Dleskovec, you rhymed well nasmeh

otiv26. 05. 2016 18:31:23

Apollonia, thanks for Waldsteinia. nasmeh

I had already looked at Kranj Waldsteinia before, but flowers weren't quite similar and now I saw there is also forest Waldsteinia and this definitely matches mine.
Grmada is really a true botanical garden, just need to take time to observe flowers.

Yesterday I remembered why I like Karst edge so much. I went from Zazid towards Lipnik and found some orchids I hadn't seen before.

jarsan28. 05. 2016 10:27:10

This year Struska offers incredible wealth of flowers. Meanwhile on Kočna saddle and border ridge still some early spring flowers (alpine bells, nuns, wood anemones, dog's-tooth violets), but the hut on Belska planina surrounded by rarely seen splendor of auriculas and gentians. Daffodils reached top of Mala Golica.

zlatica28. 05. 2016 21:49:26

Yesterday I too was led to the Karst edge, similar to Majstro to Lipnik and it was wonderful walking over blooming meadows and rocky karst edge full of flowers. Orchids awaited me too, such as I had first chance to see in nature. Meadows were bending from all kinds and colors of milk-vetches, not to mention other blooming beauties. In the following my flower photo contribution, with your help we'll identify those flowers that were unknown to me or correct any wrong identification. Friendly regards velik nasmeh

small-flowered bumblebee-like cat's ear ?

flower of soft-hairy St. John's wort, to me very interesting plants

just for illustration, how tall soft-haired jurjevina can grow

cartilaginous hawk's-beard (Crepis chondrillioides)

(+2)

Apolonija28. 05. 2016 22:40:35

Master, I also rarely see cat's ears, although I wish I did. What insect do they remind you of (1 and 3)? They remind me of a bee and a bumblebee. And you?
The last orchid is violet limodorum (Limodorum abortivum).

jarsan, did you see violets too?

Apolonija28. 05. 2016 23:47:19

Zlatica, congratulations for such a good collection of flowers from the Karst.
your unknowns in order, my judgment anyway...:

Jacquin's oxytropis (Oxytropis jacquinii)
common birthwort (Aristolochia clematitis)
bird's vetch
is limodorum
is resinous
German greenweed (Genista germanica)
cartilaginous hawksbeard (Crepis chondrilloides Jacq.)
is dogwood

velkavrh29. 05. 2016 09:47:24

zlatica wonderful photos and many flowers seen here for the first time.

Yesterday we went to Gorski Kotar, more precisely our starting point was the ski slope above Reka-Platak. From Reka to the ski slope there are huge stands of Illyrian iris, mountain silje, common honeysuckle, common goldenroot. Unfortunately we didn't stop anywhere. Before the ski slope those flowers were gone. At 1000m there were no more. We climbed Snježnik and Guslica, and also the neighboring peak whose name I don't know. Around these peaks there grows a lot of Clusius' loosestrife and narcissus. We rarely see Clusius' loosestrife in such quantities. Orchids are rare except pale orchids.
