@primozg, this will be one of the gentians, as we know the chalice one, the Austrian and the German ones. For exact identification it's necessary to photograph the flower corolla too and of course there are other details that already exceed my knowledge.

Kati, you say that you took the term "furrowed" from Velkavrh; and it's really not in any handbook. It's possible you took the name from Velkavrh, because he named some saxifrage like that. But I must emphasize that furrowed saxifrage is our botanical name for Saxifraga exarata, even though you didn't find it in your handbooks. It has many subspecies, only 3 grow with us, which I listed above. No problem if you write the species name (furrowed saxifrage) and not the subspecies (Carniolan or musky or black-fringed). Wrong is if it's not that species, but another. If it's not the furrowed one, but for example the warty one. Oh, I don't know if I was understandable.? It's not that important, but I, like Zlatica, thought your second saxifrage was blue-green. If the leaflets, as you quote prof. Ravnik, are bent, they more easily create the look of a rosette/little flower and not just "grass"

I wish you a nice good evening . Two days ago I was strolling in the High Tauern and photographed some flower species, but identification doesn't go well for me. Please help, all photographed at altitude between 2600 and 3200 m. Thanks and little greeting to all!

Gita I also found these flowers in the High Tauern some year ago. It should be like this: 1.definitely edelweiss 2. Carniolan saxifrage-belongs to the furrowed ones 3.globeflower or trollius-hard to identify 4.grey ragwort-Senecio incanus-I haven't found it with us 5.belongs to small gentians 6.this small gentian is particularly interesting. More similar to pot-bellied than snowy. Both have such inflated bellies. Snowy also grows with us -I haven't identified it somehow yet. 7.-starry saxifrage-I haven't seen it this year yet.

Gita, from Albania straight to the High Tauern? Anyway, you delighted us with beautiful high-mountain flowers. Branko has already nicely identified everything, only for 6. I would add that everything indicates it's the snow gentian, since there's no visible characteristic very inflated corolla tube like the pot-bellied gentian has. And one more trifle at 2.- Carniolan saxifrage belongs among the furrowed s., musky is one of the furrowed ones..which we already discussed in the last comments. lp

Gita, nice little flowers you found. The grey ragwort seems particularly beautiful to me and the low primrose too. By the way, spring gentian could still be flowering in summer. velkavrh, typing too fast again Carniolan saxifrage doesn't belong among the musky ones, but among the furrowed. Musky belongs there too. 5- I can't say for sure, because the corollas are poorly visible, that it's Bavarian gentian. Bavarian gentian has a very dark corolla indeed. 6- To you the corolla tubes seem very inflated? Not to me. Maybe I see poorly. I wouldn't go for pot-bellied. Besides, does it really have no sterile shoots??

Gentians? Here we mainly talk about the bristly, cupped, Austrian and German gentian. There are more species and each species has its own subspecies. Since we're not biologists, the genus name=gentian is enough for me. Otherwise we have no problems with bristly, right?, but for the other three I look at the corolla. The notch between teeth in German and cupped gentian is sharp and can look like the letter "V", in Austrian "U". The cupped one's corolla has hairs, the German doesn't. That's how I quickly help myself. Whether the naming is correct then is another story .

To occupy myself a bit with our little flowers before I escape somewhere above 2000m. kati1909 I'm glad you joined our company. So let's start: No.1,16 and 17. We've discussed globularias already. If we don't know them well it's hard to identify. No trouble with hairy, short-leaved, long-haired - somehow the lowest growing and extremely bright yellow. But can confuse with whitish - I think I haven't found it yet. Nice is orange globulary, but haven't seen in nature - only cultivated. With hare's-ear one we'd have problems - nicely shown on botanical trail at Črna prst. With your pics hard to say if alpine or blue. For alpine it says - bract leaves under head are long-haired, basal leaves lanceolate and entire, especially hairy on edges. So for recognition we must photo well also leaves on stem and basal rosette or leaves. Globularias after all - at least alpine and blue very similar in flowers to otavič or egg-caps, and we could count golden cudweeds too. No.2 and 6. - better write just hawkweed if not sure of species. Looks like common, found also on valley meadows. For them very important to photo exactly flower and heads under flower. Pink-red campion can be colored from white to strongly pink. For arnica better to state just arnica or sunflower. I distinguish well only mountain one, because much smaller flowers than others - egg-shaped, common, many-flowered. No.21,5 and 25 are same flowers - many-flowered black knapweeds. No.14-next to it you have viviparous bistort-Polygonum viviparum.

Kati, thanks for the "gift", I'm glad. I agree with Velkavrh and with what's written you got answer for unknowns. From some pics really can't exactly determine plant, species name. Small remark on sentence about hawkweeds No.2 and 6: "For them very important to photo exactly flower and heads under flower." Hawkweeds belong to aster family and there numerous flowers=inflorescence united in heads. (Not head/basket under flowers, but flowers themselves) And that head, those flowers, are surrounded by bract leaves which can have different appendages. And need to pay attention to those, because hawkweeds differ also by them besides other features.

Brane; thanks for friendly invitation or welcome, especially thanks for your "botanical" remarks. Wish you nice and safe wandering above 2000m. Just one remark to you; on pic 14 besides bellflower is viviparous bistort. Also to you Apolonija thanks; I decided not to use adjectives when naming little flowers until I "perfect" my photo technique.

@otiv Let's leave the club of the lazy, won't talk about names, let your toy's photos entertain us with a glass of cold drink, no one wants it to be so hot but since we can, no one cries

Ah, Otiv, your path to Debelo peč was nicely adorned, I assume, your mountain views hinted that to me, you gathered nice flowers and nothing beats the view of a flower with beautiful mountain in background, right? After long time you stumbled on bushy bellflower, marmots didn't lack for you either and maybe they'll entice Apolonija to guess which is which. Finally someone noticed wood-sorrel too, not particularly pretty, Brane even gave it special name, but interesting plant and on your photo beautiful like ornamental flower. Be well!

Otiv and turbo, the heat does you good. Rhymes just bubble up for you. Witty Otiv, your photos are divine and you don't have any strangers either. Marmot gentian for analysis. What do you say? Who votes for cup-shaped? The notches between calyx teeth are narrowed and the edge is hairy.....
