Branko, what is this one called? Is it Julian Alps poppy?

On pictures 3 and 8 it's Zois bellflower, globeflower no. 5, lily on no. 4 is Turkish and Carniolan on no. 7.

Otiv, thanks for the warning. I know that too. I'll try to lean it somewhere as you say. When you look at the picture you don't even see if it's sharp or not. We learn all our life. But I'm glad if someone tells me what I'm doing wrong.

I fixed it, I go a bit too fast.
darinka4, since you were in the Julians it's hard to say just from the flower. In KSA and Karavanke there's only Kerner poppy. In Julians grows Rhaetian poppy, which is often confused with Petkovsek poppy. They differ by leaves and flowers. These yellow poppies we just call alpine poppy. There are no other yellow poppies here. The white poppy is Julian poppy.

Also flowers from the hike to the Spodnja Dolga Njiva pasture.

Let me add something too, half joking half serious. How do we recognize plants? Often it's clear right away which genus it is. We know we saw/photographed a poppy (Papaver). Then we ask which species. We find out it's alpine (Papaver alpinum). All four poppies growing in our mountains are called alpine poppy, even "the white one". If we're not satisfied with just genus and species name, we check which subspecies. And our 4 alpine poppies belong to 4 subspecies that Brane named- 3 yellow: kerneri (Papaver alpinum subsp. kerneri), rhaeticum (Papaver alpinum subsp. rhaeticum), victoris (Papaver alpinum subsp. victoris) and 1 white: Julian poppy (Papaver alpinum subsp. ernesti-mayeri). White is only one here, no problem. Kerneri in Karavanks and K-S Alps, again no problem. Between the two yellow in Julians we judge by plant characteristics and location. If we don't know that data, we look in books, web, consult botanists...
Similar with all other plants. Otiv found and photographed vanilla orchids. Genus name is Latin Nigritella. What about species? Otiv saw it's dark, has lots of experience, said: "That's black vanilla orchid". And you weren't wrong at all. Species name is nigra/black (Nigritella nigra). But botanists don't rest, they discovered its subspecies too. One subspecies of black vanilla orchid is rhellicani (Nigritella nigra subsp. rhellicani). To determine different vanilla orchids discovered here, you need quite a lot of botanical knowledge (botanists also have lab for DNA testing)
One more genus: loosestrifes (Lysimachia), which you photographed, potka. This genus also has many species. You photographed dotted loosestrife (Lysimachia punctata). We distinguish it from common by flower arrangement.
I'll stop bothering you....

Dear Apolonija, you don't tire us at all, we all feed from your knowledge and logical explanations like grazing livestock. That's why we can only thank you.lp

Apolonija has a golden heart,
even when it's about flowers.
Always has an answer to the question
thus we expand our own knowledge.
Grateful we are to you for all that,
so our eye recognizes the flowers.
Bigger and bigger our horizon grows,
dear to us becomes the blooming field.

Unfortunately the weather is playing tricks on us and we'll have to wait a bit. I plan to visit the Triglav neboglasnica and something else besides-maybe Obirski grobeljnik, some kamnokreč.

And where do you plan to go, Brane?

Zlatica, I'm already informed via ZS...it's too airy for me there
Did you cool off a bit in Nadiža or just looked at the flowers.
On picture 23 it's burnet, if I'm not mistaken.

zlatica, identifying gentians is tricky. Lower down large-flowered and common ones should bloom, higher up other species. For identification we must know the spurs of flowers. Only for the darkish violet one we shouldn't have trouble, as it really stands out by color.
pic no. 17-common cow-wheat-Melampyrum pratense. We meet this cow-wheat also in forests in valleys.
pic no. 22-hard to say-but surely some eyebright.
pics no. 19 and 20-from orchid genus-marsh orchid. Only by flowers can we distinguish precisely. Dolinar has 16 of them in his book.
