Which flower is this?

zlatica30. 04. 2018 08:16:14

Hello, kati, nice that you're among us, otherwise something always happens to one of us that occasionally grounds us between four walls eek

, but when it's a bit better, we immediately fly out to the meadows and enjoy the flowers. velik nasmeh

Your harvest is colorful, from vetch to globularia, violets and orchids, whose species I can't determine as it would require a closer photo, and forget-me-nots, globeflowers, two versions of elder-leaved finger orchid, gentian and at the end vetch with violets again. You surely know them all yourself! Nice day and get well! nasmeh

"the real one" has taken on the naming; thanks Zlatica!
Regarding the orchid; it's fleshy red finger orchid (source Notranjski regijski park-plant world);
thick stem 20-60 cm; upward twisted supporting leaves?
Have a nice day!

zlatica30. 04. 2018 15:28:38

kati, where have your photos disappeared to now? zmeden

Did the flowers run away?
Hey, hey, Katrca you
that's what happens,
when your leg hurts!

Hey, hey, Katrca you. The flowers have returned. But I think there's no fleshy red orchid among them. It looks more like the starry one nasmeh

Today flowers from the hike to Tolsti vrh.

Sedmerolistni petoprstnik - in the morning the flowers haven't opened yet.

Avrikelj can be found in the area of Kriška gora and Tolstega vrh at several locations.

In the middle of the ridge running from Kriška gora towards Tolsti vrh, it is all yellow with evergreen gladnice.

In front of the koča on Kriška gora and at the start of the path to Tolsti vrh, everything is blue with spring svišči.

Brane, today you delighted us with various little flowers. I'm curious how you identified both rockjasmins. And the robust silene? Leaves are poorly visible, but still it seems to me it's the five-leaved hemp-nettle nasmeh

That'll hold - it's konopnica. With grebenuše it's like this - really hard to distinguish all three grebenuše - bitter, common and crested. Crested is only violet-red. Common and bitter can be the same color as crested and in blue shades. Common and bitter can only be distinguished by tasting them. I tasted my blue one - correct determination. The red one I preferred to keep under the picture just as grebenuša.

Today visit to the habitat of Žički grobeljnik in the settlement Žiče. Flowering is almost over...

May Day flowers from Zasavje....on Kal and Mrzlica above Hrastnik. Among other things I went looking for Zasavje endemic - intoxicating zlatica and this time didn't come back empty-handed. Nature is wonderful and generous right now velik nasmeh

extensive meadows yellow-coloured with cypress-like milkweed

although just nettle, the clumps of scarlet-red dead nettle were quite noticeable

nettles with Kamniško Savinjske Alpe in the background

there was an abundance of tuberous gaber

and now - leaves of intoxicating zlatica, very special and interesting

Carex montana or Carex fritschii, say the experts

warty milkweed, but I'm not entirely sure??

shrub or tree - young common alder buckthorn

Good job, good job all of you, but don't think otiv is sleeping... velik nasmeh

There are lots of orchids and recognizing each isn't easy. On the bottom picture it should be starry orchid, but it bothers me because it has three strong upper flower tips, characteristic of toothed orchid. What do you say?

silvij4. 05. 2018 17:46:48

Otiv, on 1st picture from 27.4.2018 you have toothed orchid.

otiv4. 05. 2018 18:18:33

@silvij, I know toothed orchid... starry should have two larger upper flower petals, on my picture there are three and that confuses me.

zlatica4. 05. 2018 20:49:32

otiv, one hint, for starry o. (subsp. of tall o.) leaves are important too, brownish at base... check that you'll win! And one more thing, now called starry. nasmeh

characteristic of the starry star-of-Bethlehem

otiv4. 05. 2018 21:01:29

@zlatica, thanks. Leaves I didn't photograph. jezen

zlatica4. 05. 2018 21:02:47

And didn't look? Shame, I too sometimes forget something important, then at home I bang my head. velik nasmeh

otiv4. 05. 2018 21:07:03

Which one could I mistake for starry orchid.

zlatica5. 05. 2018 08:52:08

otiv, as the expert Branko Dolinar says in his book, we have the stalwart cuckoo (Orchis mascula subsp. mascula) and the starry cuckoo (O. mascula speciosa), which we confuse too often. For the starry, characteristic are the lower lanceolate leaves sprinkled with black or red spots, the outer lateral petals protrude outwards and end with a curled edge, the middle outer petal together with both inner ones forms a helmet. The three-lobed lip is sprinkled with red spots only at the base. The middle lobe of the lip is slightly bifid and longer than both side lobes, which are sharply toothed at the edge.
And also the description of the stalwart c.: the three-lobed lip has all lobes equally long, the side lobes are rounded. The entire central part of the lip is whitish and sprinkled with red spots.

That's what the experts say, I hope I helped you somewhat, otherwise back to the field and check the leaf rosette, then the matter is solved velik nasmeh

and report what you found.
nice day nasmeh

zlatica, if I see right you have from 02.05.2018 on pic no. 3 pure common horseradish. This cultivated plant often escapes into nature and spreads successfully too.
