Which flower is this?

Of course, nodding thistle is quite nice, especially if you make a slight detour around it, then you keep a nice memory of it. nasmeh

Dear king

Where did you meet her?

otiv23. 08. 2016 19:26:55

Miri reminded me of her and I went to see her alone on Porezen. nasmeh

What is this that grows on Čavensko pogorje, relative of this?

Apolonija23. 08. 2016 20:23:44

darinka4,

this one, common knapweed, really has similar color as alpine gentian and also pricks. Otherwise they are in different families: knapweed belongs to Asteraceae, gentian to Gentianaceae. So not closely related. nasmeh

darinka423. 08. 2016 20:57:04

Aha, thanks. nasmeh

Continuing with thorny flowers. Yesterday on the return from Lipanski vrh and Mrežc I came across two, very similar in flowers "thistles", which differ mainly in leaves. Pictures aren't the best because I was hurrying in the group.. mrk pogled

. I need your help. velik nasmeh

for a change also broad-leaved houseleek

velkavrh24. 08. 2016 07:58:23

zlatica both thorny ones are thistles. Under 1. and 2. is thick-leaved thistle-Carduus crassifolius sp. crassifolius. Under 3.,4.,and 5. is hill thistle-Carduus collinus ssp. cylindricus. Determination is accurate -I know and distinguish them very well. This year I've seen them many times-also yesterday on tour to Veliki vrh above Kofce.

velkavrh24. 08. 2016 07:58:50

Yesterday at Veliki vrh.

Lower in the forest there is a lot of silky gentian, in the rocks also pot-bellied bellflower, among the grasses Scheuchzer bellflowers. On Olševa I also saw Witasek bellflower - it has more flowers on the stem.

Bluish-green rockjasmine. I also found the tufted one. It flowers among the last. Its hard leaf cushions like frozen moss are hard to the touch.

Bright-green rockjasmine. Scaly rockjasmine has already finished flowering.

Cup gentianella. There are several species and I cannot distinguish them. I have not seen the bristly one. This blue beauty blooms latest. I have already seen it this year.

Globeflower or trollius - oval or large-flowered.

I only know well the rock edelweiss and the edelweiss that grows below Triglav summit. The most common is Carinthian edelweiss. I haven't seen the rock one yet this year.

Carniolan yellow pasqueflower. Bavarian yellow pasqueflower is identical, only has slightly larger flowers.

Right at the cables on the path to Veliki vrh in the rocks grows Zois bellflower - nowhere else on the entire path.

Brane, is that then the second hill thistle? But just curious, have you ever seen the tailed one? Doesn't it have similar leaves or do you know what's the difference between them? The flowers and capitula seem very similar to me, or am I wrong?
You caught quite a few flowers in Karavanke. nasmeh

Thanks for the help anyway. velik nasmeh

Apolonija24. 08. 2016 11:38:48

Brane, I'm curious too. Is scree bellflower a synonym for bushy bellflower?

Is your hawkweed Bohinj or alpine? Regards nasmeh

otiv24. 08. 2016 17:33:42

I don't get where that leaf color of the mullein comes from.

darinka424. 08. 2016 17:54:57

This one is mullein. First time hearing it. mežikanje

otiv24. 08. 2016 18:01:26

@darinka4, yours just has more flowers. velik nasmeh

Mullein occurs in nature in two forms, one is in your picture and the other in mine, where flowers are nicely arranged along the whole stem. nasmeh

darinka424. 08. 2016 18:07:31

But very beautiful, right? nasmeh

otiv24. 08. 2016 18:10:44

Yours is wonderful, just more awkward for photographing. velik nasmeh

Apolonija24. 08. 2016 19:15:06

But I have one with leaves in the "same plane". nasmeh

otiv, leaf color? Minerals, sun frost?

otiv24. 08. 2016 19:53:45

Thanks, Apolonija. Probably something with minerals, I hardly believe sun and frost would affect the plant like that. Like with other flowers, we can find varying color strengths in the mullein too from light to dark blue and yours is already lighter.
