Which flower is this?

francimedved9. 06. 2012 20:37:04

Interesting and nice flowers, better to photograph without flash.

potepinka12. 06. 2012 23:05:08

Franci, these slippers are so "polished" they shine even without flash nasmeh

Since I haven't met them live yet, I used velkavrh's post (thanks!) and went around those areas a bit. It was worth it, because with numbers of "bunches" of nice slippers (and other flowers too) I "fed" my soul for a while. nasmeh

If anyone wants more info - then CLICK

meadow of small pansies (if they are called differently, correct me)

potepinka, regularly on my hikes I also do botanical exploration and enjoy it immensely. True, then you walk more slowly. I also go off path a bit here and there, even climb a little for a nice shot. For auricles I almost always climbed a bit. In autumn new camera and better photos too.

Potepinka, on the second photo it's field pansy (Viola arvensis).

francimedved13. 06. 2012 19:34:17

Potepinka, yes the slippers are really well polished, surely the dwarves come at night to polish them. Good shot you made, next time try a bit lower. If you shoot on knees it's good, but if lying down it's excellent, haha.

Tomorrow I'm going with the group to the Triglav Lakes and there will be a rosy alpine primrose from there. L.P.

velkavrh16. 06. 2012 16:58:07

So, a sunny rosy alpine primrose from the valley of the Triglav Lakes.

I found Bertolon's columbine-Aquilegia bertolonii.

It grew near sites of common ones and differed visibly by darker color.

First gentians this year-on Ovčarija pasture.

Many-flowered dry fleabane-Erigeron glabratus-asters-Asteraceae.

Mountain aster-Aster amellus-asters-Asteraceae-both found on Ovčarija pasture.

Julian flax-Linum julicum-flax family-Linaceae.

First this year also mountain yarrow - Achillea clavenae - yarrow - Asteraceae.

On the path across Prodov there is plenty of radiant broom - Genista radiata. It has just started blooming - in a week everything will be yellow. In about a month everything here will be yellow from broom.

There are plenty of alpine forget-me-nots - Myosotis alpestris too.

This picture belongs in the category "It can't be true, but it is". Take a good look at the left flower and what do you see in the flower cup?

Some blooming snapshots from yesterday's ramble around Ojstrica.

Otiv, you nicely captured that little sun with a face in the white flower!

otiv17. 06. 2012 17:52:02

Nature always surprises and creates wonders. nasmeh

For the little flowers below, I ask for your valued help so they won't be nameless. nasmeh

velkavrh17. 06. 2012 19:20:30

otiv, gladly I reveal them to you! first is wood anemone, second is Pyrenean rockcress, third hairy rockjasmine, fourth common pearlwort and the last two I think likewise Traunfellner's saxifrage, only the flowers are more open than in the previous presentation.

Today I couldn't help but explore Ambrož again - that's about 900 to 950m above sea level.

Comb speedwell already blooming here, not yet on Kamniški vrh.

Above the road in the rocks a large stand of egg-shaped rockrose surprises me. Alpine rockrose or little sun grows higher.

Egg-shaped rockrose -Helianthemum ovatum-rockroses-Cistaceae

For the first time I find great germander speedwell-Veronica teucrium-figworts-Scrophulariaceae.

I found a huge mullein. This is black mullein-Verbascum nigrum-black mulleins-Scrophulariaceae.

Scarlet red clover-miss of all clovers-Metrifolium rubens-legumes-Fabaceae.

Common dog rose or wild rose-Rosa canina.

Turkish carnations or bearded pinks-Dianthus barbatus. There are many of them on the forest edge, full everywhere and they smell pleasantly.

Everywhere there is plenty of this sharp stonecrop-Sedum astre,

Wood woundwort -Stachys sylvatica-labiate-Lamiaceae.

Common woodland angelica-also angelica-medicinal plant.

The bees were busy. It is Fritsch's knapweed-Centaurea scabiosa fritschi-daisies-Asteraceae.

Meadow goat's-beard-Tragopogon pratensis-Asteraceae. The flower is large and the plant tall.

otiv17. 06. 2012 19:31:38

Brane thanks for the help. I'll return it with interest at the first opportunity. nasmeh

babim18. 06. 2012 15:01:01

velkavrh, on the last picture maybe hairy draba, I'm not sure because I can't see the leaves, the flower is similar.

velkavrh18. 06. 2012 20:41:55

Today botanically exploring Zelenica and the wider surroundings of the Završnica spring.

Montpellier pink-Dianthus monspessulanus-pinks-Caryophyllaceae.

First alpine catchfly this year-Silene alpestris-pinks-Caryophyllaceae.

Kerner's poppy-Papaver alpinum kerneri-poppies-Papaveraceae-first this year. This variety grows only in Karawanks and Kamnik-Savinja Alps.

First time finding round-leaved saxifrage-Saxifraga rotundifolia-saxifrages-Saxifragaceae-right at Završnica spring.

Common cat's-foot-Antennaria dioica-everlastings-Asteraceae-first seen-interesting flowers. Grows near the spring.

From the hut at Završnica to the hut at Zelenica full of diverse flowers - also this orange low hawk's-beard. It is golden hawk's-beard - Crepis aurea - Cichoriaceae.

On the pasture or ski slope under Vrtača hut full of fairy thimble bellflowers - Campanula cochleariifolia - Campanulaceae.

In between there are plenty of these small low gentians too.

The hairy catchfly has already dressed the path surroundings above Vrtača hut in red.

And surprise - beautiful lady's slipper that I had been searching for two weeks ago.

This is Tephroseris longifolia - nebinovke - Asteraceae - grows from Zelenica onwards. I found it already on Kamniški vrh.

This flower is beautiful - alpine honeywort. Last year I found it on Črna prst.

This flower is unusual, has barely visible flowers. It is Jurassic figwort - Scrophularia juratensis - Scrophulariaceae. It likes to grow on screes. I also found it here.

otiv18. 06. 2012 21:27:30

I see you were among the little flowers again. Nice and instructive for me, who isn't so knowledgeable about flowers. nasmeh

Brane, on the 17th picture it's probably alpine chickweed, I found something similar in the handbook.
Best regards!

Majdag19. 06. 2012 14:25:56

...Thanks to everyone posting pictures and names of alpine flowers, useful and practical, bye Majda...

anka 19. 06. 2012 15:16:48

The orchis from Ambrož is the fragrant orchid. On the seventh photo from the second V. set is primrose, on the eighth golden saxifrage, on the fourteenth it might be cowslip, fifteenth is one of the finger orchids, on the last one is one of the false hellebores.

velkavrh19. 06. 2012 16:20:45

anka, thanks! It really is the Carniolan primrose. I thoroughly researched all similar saxifrages and rockcresses. Some are very similar. Haven't found primrose anywhere yet, for primrose we call it Spanish elderberry. I'll research where arnica fits. Even Alenka said they're hard to distinguish. Otherwise I've photographed lots more flowers, which I'll post when there's rain and I can't go anywhere. Tomorrow via Suhi Dol to Dolce - first time going this way - it's an old abandoned unmarked trail to Spodnje Dolce and onward. Going to bivouac under Kočna and back via Grdi graben and to Taška start to check if Zois bellflower is blooming yet, since last time I saw its leaves in the rock, otherwise return via old path to Suhadolnik.
