Which flower is this?

Brane, I don't doubt that you hit it, you have a lot of knowledge and experience. nasmeh

Apolonija, today I'm dealing with small gentians and reviewing my photos of these gentians from various hikes and different mountains. I don't know if I've ever photographed the snow one. I know it has more flowers on shoots and flowers are small. Bavarian is similar to spring one-all leaves are inversely ovate and entire-rosette-I don't know. Short-leaved I don't know if I've found yet. The Triglav gentian, round-leaved and short-leaved have very similar rosettes. Most common is of course spring and pot-bellied gentian. On the coast we have Triest one. There's also low gentian mentioned.

The spring gentian is the most common of the small gentians.

This is the Tergestina gentian. It is definitely the true one, as it was found in Primorska.

The punctate gentian is also frequently found.

This gentian should not cause us identification problems.

Problems start here - is it Triglav, round-leaved or even short-leaved.

I took this photo last year right below the summit of Vrtača - Karavanke - 18.06.2016

Branko, I think your picture 7 is too unsharp or not precise enough to determine the gentian species. I now distinguish Triglav gentian from round-leaved, because this year I found round-leaved on Mangart and was pointed out, because I first thought it was Triglav one. Anyway, as far as I can see, the leaves don't end roundly, but more pointed, which speaks for Triglav gentian. I haven't heard of short-leaved yet, it's not mentioned in Flora Alpina either, nor in Small Flora of Slovenia. What's its Latin name? best regards

Zlatica; a bit late but therefore enjoyed the edelweiss with greater pleasure; nice.
The forecast for nice autumn gives hope that we'll still "feast our eyes" a bit on beautiful mountain flowers, of course we'll have to go a bit higher, But it's not bad to bite into the steepness if sincere desire leads your step.
Yes, after this expert "discussion" on EGG GENTIAN I can say that mine "smell like that" too, right? And I named them "willow gentian" (wrong)!?

Kati, nice "yellow ones" you've found, not to mention Zois's beauties! Even if it's egg gentian, it's not the same as mine, yours has hairy basket, if I think of gentianella, I don't see the leaves well, already by flower and basket it doesn't pull towards willow gentian. Anyway with gentians almost everyone, even botanists, freezes. zmeden

Brane, I agree with Zlatica regarding number seven.

Zlatica; Gentiana brachyphylla

Kati, in your picture only one leaf is visible and the involucre is more in "shadow". Willow gentian has different leaves, Zlatica's egg gentian is "hairy and the stem isn't round. Mountain gentian (egg gentian) has slightly thickened stem under the basket and involucre covered with black protruding hairs, but stem is short. As for me, I'll stay with your dilemma nasmeh

Thanks to both for the reply. But "replica": Zlatica, the flower on your picture no. 17 really has smooth basket, the flower on no. 20 has hairy basket. So on 17. it's egg gentian, on 20. it's not (gentianella?). Am I wrong? I don't think so. Greetings!

zlatica4. 09. 2017 07:08:44

Haha, Kati, you know you're right, I didn't notice at all, I thought I photographed flowers of the same species! Bravo! In real life they were just as tall and quite close together. Well, next time more attention needed. velik nasmeh

On pictures 8.,10.,and 11. these are Triglav marmots then. Need to photograph them precisely next year.

zlatica6. 09. 2017 19:41:33

Hello, as I was surprised last time at Kamniško sedlo because there were still quite some flowers, so I was surprised yesterday that the whole path to Molička planina and Kocbekov dom on Korošica was without flowers. The only flower worth a photo was this one. velik nasmeh

Golden five-fingered orchid (the middle leaf lobe is shorter than the two adjacent ones).

Hello; I'm a bit "strolling" through my shots, these "unknowns" to me, so I'm asking for help. Thanks!

Good morning!
Kati1909, on the first two pics is scabious... I call them bunnies too and on the third pic is narcissiflora anemone. nasmeh

kati19098. 09. 2017 16:24:03

Otiv; thanks!
Haven't we experienced nice things on flowering meadows of our mountains? Let "granny winter" first wink, let white blanket cover meadows so they wake up soon flower-covered again.
Greeting all "flower friends"!! nasmeh

will soon peek out from under the white blanket?

otiv8. 09. 2017 19:24:51

Minor thing, Kati!

We don't give in to winter so fast, let it wait a bit with its white "gear", since even in autumn something blooms, delights our souls...proof some autumn flowers. velik nasmeh

Greetings to you too, kati. Otiv is right. Don't call winter too early. nasmeh

From path to Češka koča and Vratca. At top of Vratca found even last flower of Zois bellflower. Otherwise last flower buds more lying down, wet.

End of flowering of Kerner's poppy, of which there is quite a lot on Žrela Retreat.

We recognize it by its characteristic leaves.

Rough bellflower, the pot-bellied one is also visible.

The hairy bistort has not opened its flowers.

Surprise at the end of the path at Umuk Žrela - alpine madronščica.

Unfortunately blurred photo of one of the fumitories. The most common are the earthy and common ones. Both are used for tinctures, as well as their hybrids.

And also a slimy black creature. I encountered quite a few.

Brane, it's clear you look at flowers.

Koch's gentian from Smrekovca

Next year I'll try harder in photography, so the difference between Clusius' and Koch's gentian really shows, which is the most characteristic. From above they look very similar and hard to distinguish.
