Which flower is this?

velkavrh12. 07. 2017 20:20:03

zlatica under no. 6 and 7 you have alpine rockjasmine-Pritzelago alpina
under no. 28 is genipi wormwood-Artemisia genipi-I haven't seen it live yet.

The rockjasmine is the Carinthian one.

Well known to everyone - arnica, and that it blooms at altitude 2200 m asl, you're a bit surprised.
Best regards!

Today my main goal was to see common rhaponticum under Štapci at that scree above the hut at Triglav Lakes. I went there from Planina Blato via Planina Pri Jezeru, Planina Dedno Polje, which I thoroughly checked. Then to Prode or better said currently triple lake. Back to Štapci. My flower favorite-common rhaponticum-appears at the end of the path where the scree somehow ends. On the right side of the path a bit away from the rocks is a huge stand of rhaponticum. Lower part where there are only individual flowers already wilted. Upper part is in full bloom. I don't know a larger stand of this wonderful flower than this one. Then it started raining heavily and I couldn't photograph our beautiful Zois' bellflower, which is abundant in the rocks of Štapci-here is also a stand of rock houseleek. Due to rain I didn't go to Mala Tičarica, where snowbells are already blooming.

In the shade grows nettle-leaved bellflower.

Above Planina Pri Jezeru is a stand of mountain dryad.

Narrow-helmeted gentian also appears frequently.

On Prodih there is a stand of narrow-leaved gentian.

Mainly it is not yet flowering, but I spotted one more bloomed.

Above Planina Pri Jezeru I found tufted bellflowers.

There are most inflated ones everywhere.

This bellflower already puzzles me. I also saw woolly-leaved one.

I also find the first marsh globeflower.

For this thistle, I still have some research to do.

It has such leaves. There are quite a few similar hawkweeds.

Bloody crane's-bill? Wait, blood-red marsh saxifrage.

In the shade and on moist ground grows round-leaved saxifrage.

On the Dedno polje mountain pasture hostov kamnokreč also grows.

There is mostly skorjasti kamnokreč of course. I also found grozdasti. But I did not find the species that Peter Strgar finds here.

On the entire path I found this only glavinec but there are huge numbers of it.

I also found rarer specimens of rhelikanijeva murka.

The Prodov area was all yellow from žarkasta košeničnica recently.

Now Prodi are full of bratinski košutnik.

To photograph it closer you have to descend under the path or climb over the path.

In front of Dvojno jezero there is a sea of this kislica.

Around the lake are fields of alpine drobnjak.

Moving to the scree below Štapci - julijska orlica is an endemic of our Julians.

Hill pearl. Typical scree flowers grow here - alpine madronščica, alpine šetrajnik, pokalica.

There also grows a bunch of yellow flowers that I cannot yet identify precisely.

And now my main find - common ropontika.

These really are mighty flowers. In the Julians I know only one other location besides this.

@ velkavrh, what do you say to my opinion that some stands should be kept secret? Experts find them anyway, for others they are only useful for vases. Think about it and don't take offense.

velkavrh14. 07. 2017 04:50:09

miri, you probably know that you photographed lying valerian-Valeriana supina.

zlatica14. 07. 2017 06:32:21

Branko, thanks for the info on wormwood and rockjasmine. Is that it? Well, I couldn't figure out which flower it was supposed to be, I read about genipi wormwood, but didn't think I had come across it this time. Super.. Rhaponticum is finally seen again, right? nasmeh

Apolonija14. 07. 2017 09:27:34

Miri, my opinion is the same as yours. But in the past I have already "angered" someone when I wrote this. velik nasmeh

Brane, where did you read more about Zlatica's wormwood (Artemisia)? nasmeh

velkavrh14. 07. 2017 15:43:35

I have a handbook by Hoppe-famous German botanist. The handbook describes more than 500 mountain flowers. But I must say, the handbook covers flowers of the entire Alps across Europe. Many do not grow here. It doesn't have many flowers widespread here-for example neither Sternberger's nor Montpellier pink. Among wormwoods described: mountain, spike, glacial, true. The handbook is only conditionally useful.

Apolonija15. 07. 2017 09:52:50

Velkavrh, thanks for the reply. nasmeh

otiv15. 07. 2017 17:00:16

This is not from the hills, it's from the city green area, but I'm still interested in the name. Do you know it? nasmeh

zlatica15. 07. 2017 17:29:09

Otiv, that's borage or boreč and it has some folk names too. http://www.pomurske-lekarne.si/tocka-zdravja/boraga-ali-zvezdna-roza-borago-officinalis

Thanks, Zlatica. nasmeh

The day before yesterday: Planina Ravne-Veliki vrh or Veža-Molička planina and back...the path led through rich flowering meadows (Zelene Trate) and flowering screes...in between gray clouds brought some rain too velik nasmeh

multi-flowered cinquefoil, which has two types of corolla leaves on the underside

already wilted multi-flowered cinquefoil

Kamniška ivanjščica, endemic to KSA, has leaves split into three prongs - first time I found it

there was a whole treasure of flowering dryas

dwarf pine - Pinus mugo, female part of the plant, males are stamens that fall off after pollination

in moist hollows, round-leaved dryas remained

Dear Zlatica, now you've seen the flowering alps of our Dleskovska plateau; nice, right? Your pictures are nice too, but sadly (for you) you didn't find the "edelweiss garden". Did you pass by or you don't want to reveal the site. Here I'll "gift" you one! nasmeh

zlatica16. 07. 2017 04:54:43

kati1909, about 30 years ago I was on roughly these paths, so almost everything was new to me and indeed I wondered where any edelweiss are, as the world seemed created for them and nowhere even one peeked out from the grass velik nasmeh

. So as you see I didn't hide them, I showed everything my eye caught. So thanks for your nice gift. mežikanje

This is from yesterday's tour to Špik nad Nosom. On guided tours we have little time for flowers. But I caught some anyway.

It didn't have open flowers yet - it was still too early.

Very soon towards Špik on Hude police we encountered whole plantations of thorny burnet.

Along the path there was plenty of diverse flowers from wild carnations to arnica. This is blackish fleabane.

For the first time I somehow noticed this silene here.

We were just having a water break, so I managed to photograph it a bit more precisely.

It has such leaves and more orange-colored flowers. Need to look in Flora Alpina. I haven't seen it at home.

Capitate knapweed, there is also a lot of the fusiform one.

There are several species of this white debris, plenty of them, but I can't distinguish it.

I can't distinguish these yellow ones exactly – there was also golden saxifrage. But this one I know.

Pale stalks – unfortunately a poorer photo, like many from that day.

I saw as many as seven species of rockjasmine – evergreen rockjasmine.

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to photograph the Carniolan one well.

Cluster rockjasmine – there was also a lot of the scaly one, the hairy one had only buds – it will flower later.

Lady's mantle – but a slightly different variety. It is alpine lady's mantle – Alchemilla alpina.

In the rocks there was also this rampion, lower down there is a lot of the capitate one. It is Sieber's rampion – Phyteuma sieberi. It is the lowest and thus peeks out from rock crevices.

Rhelikanijeva primrose wouldn't let me photograph it at all.

But I did manage to nicely photograph this find – a hybrid between Rhelikanijeva primrose and orchis – at least that's what I think.

In the rocks of Špik pod Nosom there is a lot of Triglav pink, which varies in color from almost white through pink to almost red.

The queen of the rocks is undoubtedly the Triglav bellflower.

On the way back, at the hut on Planina Pekol, I caught narrow-leaved sedge.

Yes, Vito is quite a useful medicinal plant, grows quite a bit on abandoned graves.
Regards!

velkavrh16. 07. 2017 16:43:51

zlatica, about a year ago I was also studying ferns. Now I don't study them specifically every year anymore.

Still, I know that under the picture from 15.07.2017 you have the alpine bladder-fern-Cystopteris regia.

zlatica16. 07. 2017 20:43:08

velkavrh, thanks for identifying the fern, I had no idea which one it could be. I looked for info on the topic and it seems it's really the bladder-fern. There's also a brittle one besides the alpine, though I didn't find out the differences. I see you're very active in mountaineering too. velik nasmeh

Today a bit into the wind and cold above Pokljuka to Debelo peč. There were quite a few nice flowers along the path, all familiar ones. lp mežikanje
