No offense to everyone, if I'm wrong, but I'd say that on the last picture 1 it's gentian, on picture 2 and the previous two it's not.

I think the same as Zlatica. Each Douglasia flower should have a supporting leaf, but I don't see them on the second picture, where it can be distinguished. It seems more like alpine forget-me-not to me, as well as the upper two. But true, I'm judging only by pictures and descriptions, which doesn't mean I'm right. Brane, what do you say?
Otiv, do you remember where you took a picture of golden gentian last year? Where on Grmada?

Zlatica, my opinion was only for the first two piccies.
Yes Apolonija, on Polhovgrad Grmada and specifically a bit below the summit by the bench on the left side.

Your memory works excellently, thanks. It also makes sense that you meant only the first picture

Franci, it really is nice. But Lucifer got so close to the little church, oh my. If I see correctly, the plant is Crocosmia (Montbretia) 'Lucifer' - montbretia. Regards

Oh, Franci, we finally got a word from you. I'm glad. Apolonija, you of course know so many flowers that Lucifer didn't escape you either.

Hello! Branko unintentionally encouraged me with his photos of Douglasia and alpine forget-me-not to review all photos on this topic in my own archives too. I remember that for many years while hiking in the mountains I hoped I had perhaps captured a Douglasia in the lens, but several times with experts' help this hope was dispelled, as the flowers are quite similar in some ways, until you really encounter a Douglasia. Then the differences become obvious and it's hard to mistake again what is forget-me-not and what Douglasia. So I decided for all those who maybe haven't met this unique flower alive yet, to bring closer these features and differences through my photos from last year on Mangart, though I know there's plenty in literature too. To me the most important for distinguishing is that Douglasia has a multitude of rosettes in its cushion, whose leaves are covered with hairs and shape like a saxifrage type (they like its company a lot, especially clustered one), while forget-me-not has no rosettes, its leaves hairy to some degree too, though those hairs aren't shiny like on Douglasia.
As for altitude where you find them, from experience I can say on Mangart both were between 2400m - 2500m, alpine forget-me-not I found below Triglav summit at 2600m on path from Planika. And now to the photos...

zlatica, thanks. I think your depiction of both plants will help many to better recognize them. It already has for me. You have put in a lot of effort, first to find and photograph them, and now to search for them in your archive because of us.
Otiv, your unknown fruits belong to the red-fruited bryony. It's a climber/twiner that belongs to the gourd family.
At 6, a slip crept in for you.

miri, your bellflower has round little leaves, so it's.....? You'll know.

| miri5. 09. 2016 20:19:04 |
No, I don't know. It's cute to me. But where have you found a place for it to live?
|
|
|
|
| Apolonija5. 09. 2016 20:25:39 |
Right you are. It really is cute and so modest. I think it got its name after the shape of its leaves - round-leaved bellflower (Campanula rotundifolia).

miri, I have to ask, where did you photograph it? Unbelievable really where it lives! A real queen...

Regarding the Triglav edelweiss your findings are correct. Edelweiss are only on the first picture -not on the others. So I haven't found it at all this year.

I admire that you are so enthusiastic and precise also in correctly naming flowers, that it doesn't only apply to peak names
This way we all learn, discover flowers that are constant companions in the hills
Again it holds that it's far from only the peak that matters, but the path more and more.
Walking times, however, less and less
