Which flower is this?

velkavrh5. 07. 2018 20:36:21

darinka4, I think it's spring gentian. Triglav one never grows like that.

Despite poor weather forecast and still sore leg, I was really drawn to the flowering trail. But it wasn't in vain; as if "flowering heavens" opened. I gift you some "special" shots and (of course) ask for help with the "unknowns". Thanks!

So, it's the Triglav gentian; I saw it last time from Kredarica to Triglav, it grows in tufts.

velkavrh5. 07. 2018 22:10:58

That last pic is Triglav gentian. For identifying small gentians it's important what the basal leaf rosette of the flower is like. On my pic you can see well the leaf rosette of Triglav gentian.

velkavrh6. 07. 2018 05:42:14

kati1909, let's try:

1.-daisy hawkweed and alpine chervil or saw-wort

2.-yellow lower flower is leopard's bane or sunhat

3.-hairy snowbell

5.-pink flower is alpine catchfly

6.-common forget-me-not

7.-blue flowers are heart-leaved orchids, in front early orchid

8.-white is daisy hawkweed

9.-alpine bistort

10.-that's Wertheim globeflower

11.-hairy snowbell

12.-spindle hawkweed

13.-spring gentian

14.-alpine bistort and hairy snowbell

16.-Bohinj hawk's-beard

17.-common eyebright

18. In the background alpine catchfly, in front one of globe-daisies or egg-yolks. Yellows are always hard to identify.

19.-globe-daisy

20.-common stinking hellebore

21.-correct

22.-correct

zlatica6. 07. 2018 07:58:43

Since we learn from each other, Brane, I have a question: what determines or what are the basic recognizable features of Bohinj hawk's-beard? I always wonder that.

Otherwise, for a change some plants or flowers and even herbs from field paths; when one can't go high among alpine flowers, looks for consolation also at what grows along village paths or field edges and surprised realizes many interesting and beautiful things hide in ordinary places too. We just don't take time for closer look around, thinking it's not worth it. And I really struggled with identification. velik nasmeh

I don't know if it is peach-leaved or sorrel-leaved bittercress.

yellow ones, that's what I call them, but I don't know if it is hawkbit or something else.

and here is a single flower of these rume

and a closer look at the leaf shows that it's not good to touch it

a cluster of flowering bunches even has some beauty

dried empty calyx of white campion; everything indicates it's from the male flower, which has a 10-nerved calyx

here the white flowers of the campion are still visible

Yellow unknown nasmeh

kati19097. 07. 2018 07:45:03

Brane; thanks for your "effort". Up to pic. 16 I wanted to show all flower combinations on this flowering path.
Apolonija; does the yel. unknown also have a Slovene name? Thanks!

zlatica7. 07. 2018 08:14:14

Apolonija, thanks for the hint about the yellow unknown, as MFS says - savojska škržolica mežikanje

. I just need to check the leaves thoroughly if they match my photos. zmeden

Apolonija7. 07. 2018 09:46:48

kati1909, as Zlatica already wrote - savojska škržolica nasmeh

velkavrh7. 07. 2018 17:15:04

Today the Mangart flowers though. No planike seen. Small gentians I saw on grass and in rocks, but failed to photo them. Most of the currently blooming flowers I somehow managed to capture in the lens despite the guided tour.

Thorny thistle, I saw no other thistles or burdocks

Alpine forget-me-not and viviparous bistort.

Clustered rock-cress, there was also scaly one.

Alpine honeywort, I saw Pyrenean houseleek.

Crantz's cinquefoil, but nowhere did I see Clusius's.

Ant-hill rock-cress, just beginning to flower.

Among the grass at the upper parking lot above the hut I found the only Rheli's speedwell, and even that one is in the beginning phase of flowering.

Almost at the top of Mangart I noticed barely flowering opposite-leaved rock-cress.

Triglav neboglasnice high in the rocks of Mangart.

Glavičasti ušivec. Recognized by the pronounced spur on the upper lip - in rožni the lip is not spurred.

Rock speedwell, I also saw the other three species.

I think it is alpine smiljka - Cerastium alpinum, the Carinthian one has different growth.

Suholetnica - the many-flowered one is usually pink. I saw more such small and white ones.

Golden dimek, I think I also saw the Triglav one in the rocks.

Apolonija7. 07. 2018 21:17:42

Brane, thanks for the flowers. I like the creeping sretena very much, especially the fully bloomed heads. At 9 you unintentionally made a mistake. One more question: are you sure it's the pink ušivec? Aren't the beaks visible like on the glavičasti??? nasmeh

But here you didn't encounter the blue milj?

velkavrh8. 07. 2018 05:04:43

We went up the Slovenian path, down the Italian one and during group hiking I couldn't take more photos. No blue milj seen here, lots of yellow milj and I didn't photograph it at all. Yes, I studied the ušivci carefully and it really wasn't the right one. With sretena I really swapped names by mistake. I wanted to study carefully this Triglav svišč and the round-leaved one, but simply no time.

zlatica, recognizing both repnjaks - Bohinj and alpine is very simple. Alpine has completely different growth than Bohinj one. Bohinj is lower and usually grows very densely - full of white flowers. Alpine is taller. The plant itself is very branched. With Bohinj one only dwarf repnjak (Arabis bellidifolia) could mislead us, but it has very hairy leaves. On Kras, in Bela krajina and along Kolpa grows scopolijev repnjak, which is a bit lower than say Bohinj one. Haven't noticed shiny repnjak (Arabis soyeri) yet. Presenting some repnjak species.

It bloomed like this, for example, at Trupejevo poldnev.

Interesting is this one from Croatia from Velebit - early repnjak, which is blue colored. I have never found it here.

Starry-haired hawkweed or dwarf hawkweed.

Bristly hawkweed, very similar in growth to the hairy one.

kati19098. 07. 2018 12:19:50

Apolonija; thanks for the "savojska škržolica". Did I label it correctly?

zlatica8. 07. 2018 15:38:02

Brane, congrats on Mangart, you caught quite a few flowers in the lens, since with group botanical activities suffer a lot. You photographed the main flowers, no blue milj on this path, for anything else you'd need really more time than the group allows. Obviously this year flowers aren't so in bloom at this time as usually in other years. Weather you obviously had ok, so probably views too.
Thanks for the answer about repnjak, now I'm quite sure I'd recognize it, since I know alpine very well, the difference I'll probably catch. Also the presentation of some repnjaks is interesting. mežikanje

kati, by the way, krvomočnica isn't kravavordeča, since that one differs substantially in color from gozdna, osat is in my opinion still unbloomed common osat. Pity, since mostly you don't write where the flowers are from, because then determination is often easier if you know from where and approx. height they are photographed. nasmeh

Apolonija8. 07. 2018 15:41:17

Dear kati1909,

I don't know where you should have labeled it correctly? About savojska škržolica we talked with Zlatica. I thought it was her yellow one. But when we looked at the leaf rosette too, it's not, but one of the dimki. Not necessarily biennial nasmeh

Pity that your krvomočnica doesn't show leaves. But petals are visible. Krvavordeča has heart-shaped ones, yours doesn't and imo is gozdna, ušivec though spindle-shaped.

Brane your instructive repnjaks display helps me too. I distinguish alpine and bohinjski also by leaves, which on alpine are serrated. Zvezdastodlakavi is one of the subspecies of low repnjak. nasmeh

Dear "ladies"; you are a balm (not only) for me!
Apolonija; sorry for the "savojska škržolica". I thought they were my "yellow unknowns".
Zlatica; all the "floral splendor" was photographed on the path Podvežak-hut on Korošica (sadly burned)" i.e. 1600-1700 m a.s.l.. Thanks; with sincere wish to you, that you soon "walk again".
