Which flower is this?

zlatica19. 08. 2016 15:33:28

Otiv, not because of the flower, but your overly macro photo is guilty. Is this by chance heath? I've never seen such spread-out flowers if that's it. Now just a concrete answer, please. velik nasmeh

otiv19. 08. 2016 18:05:33

I misled you a bit, huh Zlatica? velik nasmeh

That wasn't my intention and you don't deserve the flower either, since you got the answer, only it's correctly heather, specifically autumn heather. Heath blooms in spring and has that name spring heath. The flowers differ quite a bit, especially in macro shots.

Apolonija19. 08. 2016 20:02:42

otiv, high five velik nasmeh

.
It is true that it's harder to recognize plants from macro shots and I understand you, Zlatica.
Spring heath which is just setting buds for spring (Erica carnea) and autumn heather (Calluna vulgaris) are, as the Latin name indicates, two different genera but belong to the same family - heaths.

This case reminded me of plants that many also "mix up", namely spring saffron and autumn meadow saffron. Flowers are really similar, leaves however not at all. Unlike heather and heath they belong to different families. Spring saffron to irises, meadow saffron to colchicums mežikanje

Thanks Tadej; noted for next time.

I saw two beautiful creatures today on Porezen. This little flower and one beautiful girl who, however, is not for everyone on this forum.

Miri, that creature on the picture is wonderful. Did you also photograph the other one or did you manage something more? In the worst case, I hope that it at least reads what you wrote here. velik nasmeh

On Kriška gora and Tolsti vrh, sheep are grazing, so not many little flowers are left... but it's well fertilized. velik nasmeh

zlatica21. 08. 2016 07:55:39

Otiv, yesterday on Krvavec it was well fertilized too and everything that goes with it. But on the path to Zvoh and Vrh Korena there were still some little flowers here and there. nasmeh

Turkish fat-hens really compete with the scree if they overtake it

Turkish fat-hen - hairy inside, calyx bald outside, as they say

Zois' bellflowers at a hardly accessible place

Yesterday to the Carinthian end of the Karavanke to Olševa. Unfortunately when leading quite a large group you can't take many photos. Olševa is all green and polluted by sheep-sadly. Also around Potočka zijalka it's like that. Now is the time of autumn flowers. We have cyclamens all continental season anyway. Lots of candle or silky gentian, blue gentians-probably Turkish-hard to distinguish these gentians, lots of wild pinks, also some rock cress can be found-saw hairy and glaucous one, lots of willow-leaved primrose, thistles, lady's mantles, whole patches of wild thyme and higher good thoughts, alpine pastures are adorned also by alpine lady's mantle and fireweed.

Now is the time of cup gentianella. There are several species here and I can't distinguish them. The woolly one is not here.

There is also plenty of white chickweed - slanozor.

Zlatica, hello! Too bad the thistle isn't fully visible, including the lower leaves. I don't doubt you'll study it well and find the answer. Maybe hairy???? But Brane's gentian isn't hairy, right? At least I don't see hairs on the outside of the corolla leaves???
Brane, your gentian is Turkish or maybe Hayek's??

otiv21. 08. 2016 10:11:49

Zlatica, you had quite a good harvest and even took care of the names. But some names are missing for me, a tough riddle for my head. velik nasmeh

Apolonija21. 08. 2016 10:23:39

Pesnik, otiv, stinking elder has such nice reddish stamens, I recognize the flowers by them.

Your thistle (11, 12) could be common thistle (yellowish spines), Unfortunately the leaves are not visible.

Unknown 8,9 belongs to the cruciferous family, just from the flowers it remains a riddle for me. Do you remember more? How tall was it, leaves, where it grew (forest edge, meadow, rocks)...? nasmeh

otiv21. 08. 2016 14:07:33

Apolonija, thanks for all the help shown. Maybe with additional shots, it will be easier to determine the names. The thistle in picture 12 was very low.
The white unknown grew in rocks and is extremely small, height at most 6-8cm, with tiny flowers.

zlatica21. 08. 2016 15:46:34

Apolonija, the thistle has such leaves in smaller version like ilex, I can attach another photo if you'll figure out more from it; I call it thistle because it has spiny leaves, but it could be thistle or something similar. I don't know yet. For Brane's gentian it's hard to say, because it's photographed too little close-up, as you know, the hairiness of the corolla is key.
Otiv, you still write those names that you know, the others we'll help you with combined forces. zavijanje z očmi

That way you'll remember everything better. mežikanje

Those names for the little flowers are still waiting for you to complete them, which you gave me in the last quite demanding riddle velik nasmeh

, but I don't mean the heather. eek

Apolonija21. 08. 2016 15:58:26

otiv, thanks for making such an effort on this rainy Sunday. (Zlatica, he did write the names of the ladies. To you later)

You surely know alpine rock-cress well, so it seemed strange to me that you don't recognize it and I thought maybe something else. But it's nothing else.

I still think it's common thistle (Cirsium vulgare). But it's true that I'm no "specialist" for them.

You also photographed nice red berries of cotoneaster, right? nasmeh

Apolonija21. 08. 2016 21:37:05

What do others think about Zlatica's plant? Brane, you surely know about these spiny flowers? Is it carduus or thistle and which species is it.

As Zlatica and I have already "talked", it could be field thistle (Cirsium arvense). nasmeh
