Which flower is this?

velkavrh7. 06. 2017 18:49:12

Tomorrow I'm going alone to Vodnik hut from Konjščica pasture. Already on that pasture mainly along the torrent gully I find lots of things. On group tours there's less chance for quality flower photography. On Saturday going with VGN section of my club to Rdeči rob at Krn and there'll be more opportunities for photos. Hope tomorrow not too wet. Somehow on solo tour I make five times more flower shots than I present now from one of the tours two years ago.

For me the most beautiful grint-abraščevolistni.

This is also grint - it usually grows near shepherds' huts - rocky grint.

Beautiful decoration of screes - obirski grobeljnik.

We find it more rarely, unfortunately it is already wilted - pritlikava kosmatulja.

These hawkweeds are beautiful - they still cause problems in determination - this is lasuljasti. Such hairs on the involucres are on three - lasuljasti, peresasti and enokoškasti. Flowers look very similar at first glance.

Volnatoglavi osat - there is always a dilemma with certain representatives whether thistle or knapweed.

Prerast - it is already wilted. It is not very common.

Grabljišče, but not Hungarian or field one. We confuse it with grintavci.

The problem is determining the škržolic.

Lower leaves also need to be photographed. Will have to go to the library again for Flora Alpina.

Trpežna srebrenka - we will encounter it a lot now. It loves shade and moisture.

I don't know if I'll encounter starry rock cress tomorrow already. I think it's still a bit early. It loves dry screes, sometimes it slyly hides behind a rock.

Let's play a little riddle. I took all this on the tour. I also went past this puddle. Where?

Of course I kept the promise and went today to Vodnik hut, on the way back climbed Ablanca too-it was worth it because almost at the top I ran into Triglav marmot. Lots of flowers, but no soldanellas, lilies, rockcresses, hawkweeds, gentians, nor Austrian leopard's bane, poppies, aconites, lady's slippers, catchflies, fireweeds, primroses yet. But both pasque flowers-Bohinj and alpine, both alpine primroses, three foxglove species-common, rock, three-leaved. Now in forest three-leaved anemone blooming. Along path yellow cinquefoils, common dog's-tooth-violet, marsh marigolds, lots of globeflowers-whole meadows. Lots of flowers, but no soldanellas etc yet [repeat]. More golden saxifrages blooming, masterworts soon. Around Vodnik hut smells of alpine valerian too. Hut had board with list of alpine flowers. When years ago I searched flowers by that list I didn't find a quarter. Alpine kindergarten-natural trail like on Črna prst not maintained for years-shame. There were many other flowers. Not all photos succeed. Will be better when I get new camera.

There is plenty of Clusius gentian. In the morning it was still closed, in the afternoon it opened.

I have already found potbellied gentian, there is also plenty of spring gentian.

There is little long-flowered edelweiss. In past years there were many.

I have already found yellow gentian or košutnik. In a couple of days it will shoot up. There is plenty of foliage though.

I found two representatives of louseworts - this one is spicate.

Alpine scurvy-grass is little known to us.

On screes currently only alpine sandwort reigns.

There are huge numbers of daisy fleabanes.

From hawkweed genus - leaves smell like anise. It's fragrant hawkweed.

At the path start to Planina Konščica in the forest wedge-leaved rock-cress already blooms, round-leaved not yet.

Common alpine bellflower, I also saw the smallest alpine bellflower.

Only on one rock near Vodnikov dom I found Pyrenean rock-cress.

Stemless catchfly will just start to bloom.

Now hellebore has only leaves left - but there is plenty of it.

July flax. In the morning it still had closed flowers.

Only this edelweiss was flowering. It has very small flowers.

For me, next to the silver-leaved one, the most beautiful lungwort - the forest one. It glows with that blue.

Mountain finch - there are plenty of them around Vodnikov dom.

Nice, Branko! And were your hands freezing in the morning at Konjščica? nasmeh

Apolonija8. 06. 2017 19:55:54

Branko, thanks. Lots of flowers you photographed and presented well. nasmeh

otiv, why would he be cold? Did he wash hands in that puddle up there? velik nasmeh

otiv8. 06. 2017 20:22:23

Apolonija, I figured by myself during morning visit to Smlednik castle. But Branko was much higher up than me. nasmeh

velkavrh8. 06. 2017 20:42:50

This cold surprised me and the path from pass to hut was quite icy.

Apolonija8. 06. 2017 20:43:33

Aha, now I understand mežikanje

velkavrh9. 06. 2017 07:34:44

That puddle was photographed on that trip to Črna prst - on the Osredki pasture - it's a little-known pasture. Tomorrow there'll be another flower tour - Rdeči rob below Krn.

francimedved9. 06. 2017 20:05:49

Today I walked a bit along the Sava.

Uršlja gora is known for flowers... nasmeh

Yesterday I was with PD Škofja Loka with VGN section on a grand tour to Rdeči rob and Batognica. Start was of course at planina Kuhinja. Above planina Leskovca turn towards Rdeči rob. Below Rdeči rob we stumbled on whole meadows of silver gentians. First ones already blooming. I've never seen so many. Already from planina Kuhinja you see white patches of fragrant orchid, plenty everywhere. In between pinkish and white hairy trebelje appears. Both flowers are orchids, but they can't be confused, trebelje is lower and orchid smells. Lower auricula and tall globeflower already bloomed out. Below Rdeči rob still blooming. In Lužnica on screes full of obirski grobelnik. As approaching Rdeči rob spotted huge stands of silver gentian. First blooming. I've never seen so much. On descent from Batognica found endemic black-throated or dark purple sedge. In Slovenia grows only here. Really unforgettable.

Viper's bugloss, really nice are the pink patches of these spikes. Viviparous bugloss was also present.

Right by the road past the Kuhinje pasture there is plenty of this delicacy - it should be shining speedwell.

There are also plenty of these stars - probably chickweed.

The first orchids appear - two-leaved helleborine.

Common spotted orchid, I also noticed three species of lady's slippers. But I never find fragrant orchid or confuse it with the common one.

Along the path there is plenty of this small stuff - čober or alpine calamint. And also small yellows like poponi, petoprstniki, nokote, zlatice, podkvice are not missing.

Kimastoplodni šipek. There is a lot of thyme. For now it is not grazed yet. Cattle are already on these pastures.

In the shade grows wedge-leaved rockcress, in the sun however there is beautiful host rockcress.

In the shade and on moist ground the okroglolistni kamnokreč is hiding.

The grozdasti kamnokreč has not yet flowered. From the rocks huge skorjastega kamnokreča is looking out.

This kamnokreč was the highlight of our hike - on descent from Batognice we found the endemic črnoškrlatni or temnopurpurni kamnokreč.

Red slizek we find only in hills. It really appears already at height of about 500m.

Sivica it certainly is - if obirska then discussion would be needed.

With these sivice the leaves always confuse me. With obirska they should be slightly grey - I don't know if that's true.

Suddenly along the path there is plenty of red.

It was vretenčasti ušivec, no other kinds of ušivca.

This is the dlakavo trebelje - this one is pinkish, the fragrant kromač and avstrijska obočnica escaped the photo somehow. Obočnice or kromača were all white.

Not yet time for bodakov and osatov - this okrinkani bodak already shows flower buds.

I found white nočnico - Hesperis candida.

By kromaču and trebelju also grew this kobulnica which is a bit different. Somehow it looks I mix kromač with avstrijska obočnica which is very similar.

Surely I counted seven species of zlatic. From most common ripeče whose pašniki are full to white traunfellnerjeve. This was something special. Has unusual leaves.

Higher grows gorska zlatica. Recognized by these strong leaves and strong flowers that glow.

Under Rdečim robom traunfellnerjeva zlatica begins. Of it there is huge amount.

We hardly notice this tiny rožca - loydija it is.

We arrive in the area where kobulasta veternica begins.

The last cowslips are blooming, lower down they have already wilted.

In moist hollows the tall globulary blooms. Lower down it has already wilted. Here we also see alpine bellflowers and alpine leopard's banes.

Both high-alpine cat's-ears are present.

One could again argue whether it is the Bohinj or the alpine one.

Below Rdeči rob and in Lužnica extensive scree fields begin. Here is the home of the common rose root.

On the extensive screes of Lužnica the Obir edelweiss thrives.

Of course we encountered the beautiful Clusius marmot everywhere. Lilies are still in bud.

The season of the stemless catchfly is just beginning.

On the descent from Batognica there is a huge amount of mountain hawkweed.

The second highlight of this floral tour is the extensive growth of silver houseleek.

I have never seen such extensive stands.

These heart-shaped shell fossils somehow also belong to this tour.

Brane, you described the tour and flowers you met nicely, but my heart here far in Dalmatia where I am now yearns for one flower you haven't attached yet, but in such quantities you met it - silver gentian velik nasmeh

. Maybe you're still uploading photos zmeden

velkavrh11. 06. 2017 06:57:12

Greetings to Dalmatia! Of course I saved the sweetest for the end. This flowery, historical tour simply thrilled me.

Apolonija11. 06. 2017 07:10:02

You thrilled me, Brane, with your description and numerous plants. Here you really find almost everything you want to see. nasmeh

No. 24 that Austrian obočnica doesn't count for me, since it's not an orchid mrk pogled

velkavrh11. 06. 2017 07:41:54

I already corrected the text under the photo. It was really unique. We didn't go to Krn but were very close. These pastures under Krn thrill me too, they are something special.

zlatica11. 06. 2017 12:15:24

Brane, you satisfied all my expectations, the gentian followed too, I was a bit impatient velik nasmeh

. And you've made me have big cravings jezik

What time in the morning did you start or did you sleep there? Thanks for this flowery one from under Krn. Regards from the sea. mežikanje

velkavrh11. 06. 2017 18:04:56

At five in the morning we left Škofja Loka. Continued to Sovodenj and towards Tolmin. The road to planina Kuhinja is very narrow and winding - at most with a 20-seat bus. The whole path from planina Kuhinja and back took about eight hours.

Some colorful vibrancy from Grmada above Sava. nasmeh
