Which flower is this?

velkavrh3. 07. 2012 16:53:01

As an intermezzo, all the flowers of Castle Kamen. After a hot day, a pleasant walk through history.

Along the path, a still non-flowering giant goldenrod - Solidago gigantea - Asteraceae greets you.

Common loosestrife - Lysimachia vulgaris

This knapweed was of extraordinarily bright color - Carniolan knapweed - Centaurea carniolica - Asteraceae. Only this variety has such bright color.

Common branched star-of-Bethlehem - Anthericum ramosum - Asphodelaceae.

Almost deflowered willow-leaved primrose. Nevertheless, it is beautiful.

Upright betony - Stachys recta - Lamiaceae.

Trefoil - it looks like the yellow one. The three-lobed and German ones also appear. The common bird's-foot trefoil can also mislead us.

Oregano - Origanum vulgare - Lamiaceae - grows in former gardens - they are like some terraces.

Interesting, completely white pinks everywhere.

Montpellier pink, it is characteristic that it has several flowers on one stem.

Horned poppy. I also saw Spanish horned poppy, but the photo failed - this one is white. It grows everywhere on top of the walls.

Today, an afternoon hike to Hudičev boršt and nice flowers from there too.

Marsh gladiolus-Gladiolus palustris-iris family-Iridaceae.

Another flower of this gladiolus, there are very many of them. Last year I found a later flower.

Sticky flax-Linum viscosum-flax family-Linaceae.

Clustered bellflower-Campanula glomerata-bellflower family-Campanulaceae.

Sticky thistle-Cirsium erisithales-thistle family-Asteraceae.

Many-flowered foxglove-Digitalis grandiflora-figwort family-Scrophulariaceae.

Mountain pearl-Asperula cynanchica-Rubiaceae.

Common fragrant orchid-Gymnadenia conopsea. There were many. We also have other varieties-resinous, dense-flowered.

Inflated gentian was there, only the photo is not the best.

I reviewed all speedwells and somehow concluded that this is mountain speedwell-Veronica montana.

This is how it looks up close-it likes shade, is rare, it grows in beech forests at this altitude-so conditions are right.

Large-flowered self-heal-Prunella grandiflora-Lamiaceae.

As promised. Yesterday I went to Črno prst to find silver lungwort and pink gadnjak. Found both and much else.

Also at the hut on Črni prsti there is a huge stand of silver krvomočnica, actually it grows only within a radius of fifty meters around the hut.

I cannot find silver krvomočnica anywhere else.

Now the pink gadjak, which I saw last year only here and on Roblek. Now it is in full bloom.

For the first time I properly recognized Host's rockcress. It is the highest of the rockcresses. It blooms in the mountain arboretum on the pasture below Lisec.

There are many nettle-leaved bellflowers in the arboretum and at Oražmova hut on the pasture below Lisec.

This year I also saw clubby vetrnica for the first time. We find it shortly below the hut on Črni prsti. In the arboretum where it is labeled, it has already bloomed out.

This year also first abraščevolistni hawkweed on planina Suha across which I went on the path to Rodica.

Vanež - plenty of it around the hut on Črni prsti.

Pink-red cranesbill. Do not confuse it with bedrenc, which is similar. Bedrenc is paler pink and has different leaves.

Dwarf kosmatulja - Saussurea pygmaea - I found only two flowers.

There is also plenty of hairy škržolica everywhere.

Glavičasti ušivec - usually it is more vibrant in color.

Podaljšani ušivec, the July one is more hairy.

Long-flowering pearl - Asperula aristata.

Trebušasti svišč - Gentiana utriculosa, there are no larger relatives of it.

Trebušaste zvončic - we can hardly mix them with other small-flowered ones.

Izbrazdani kamnokreč. Finally, it has started blooming.

This, however, is scaly kamnokreč - leaves are chalky and here it differs from the Host's one which has lower flowers.

Of course we can't pass by the edelweiss.

Rock thoroughwax - Bupleurum petraeum. First time I stumbled upon it. There were only two stands.

Stumbled upon a large stand of this tall wonderful flower - mountain sow thistle - Cicerbita alpina. Last year I stumbled upon it on the path to Cojzova koča.

We already figured this out last year, that it is not grint, but mountain golden rod - Solidago virgaurea subsp. minuta.

This is even more flowers of Austrian divjakovec. There was so much that not everything can be shown. Simply put, floristic enjoyment.

benjamin78. 07. 2012 12:33:58

Well, I'll add my modest floral peep too... Which lily dresses up among Turkish lilies and maybe elsewhere? mežikanje

velkavrh8. 07. 2012 15:12:00

I haven't seen the Turkish lily albino yet, but I think that's it. This feature appears often in nature in various flowers - recently even Clusius' or Koch's gentian albino was shown here.

benjamin78. 07. 2012 15:43:44

Yes, it's a rare specimen indeed, photographed yesterday on the southern slopes of Črna prst. nasmeh

otiv8. 07. 2012 19:38:30

Brane, maybe on picture 26 it's one of the dwarf gentians.

MartinaP11. 07. 2012 20:22:34

Velkavrh, I was surprised by the white Clusius' gentian in that there were quite a few at that spot; I'd really expect them to be rarer exceptions... I browsed old photos and found a flower, I think we all know which one, it has a special shape. nasmeh

velkavrh12. 07. 2012 05:42:13

MartinaP, who are you giving this little heart to? Nature itself was the florist and arranger. Really nice! Sadly a wetter weekend awaits us, so we'll need to pick a shorter tour, otherwise I planned Italian Julian Alps. Looks like it'll be better only on Tuesday. See you then!

MartinaP12. 07. 2012 09:08:13

Nature gifted it to all who have eyes on stalks, I just share it with those who appreciate its aesthetics nasmeh

The rainy forecast for the weekend disappointed me too, we'll have to take a free day midweek. I'm in! nasmeh

kolpa12. 07. 2012 09:20:01

On the second and third pictures from 3.7.2012 it's common loosestrife (Lysimachia vulgaris), primrose family, perennial, up to 1.2m tall.

velkavrh13. 07. 2012 17:14:42

Today, despite the bad weather, on the Krvavec tour and from there quite a lot of flowers, also several first seen this year.

This year I am dedicating myself to and studying two species particularly, and one of them is bellflowers. Already on the road to Ambrož along the road there is a large stand of dock-leaved bellflower.

Beside the dock-leaved ones, nettle-leaved bellflowers also grow.

On the path from Gospinec to Kriški planini I find a stand of clustered bellflower. Last year I found only one already almost wilted on Zaplati.

On the path to Veliki Zvoh there are many inflated bellflowers. The hairy ones I still somehow don't notice.

On the Jež ridge I find the only stand of Zois' bellflower - they grow in rock fissures and are just beginning to bloom.

Now the bellflower that grows next to the inflated one actually everywhere in the Krvavec area. It stands out strongly in color from the inflated one because it is violet. It also has several flowers on one stem - last year we determined that it is Beck's

To continue with the blue color - there is a lot of hairy cinquefoil. Turkish cinquefoil is identical. We distinguish only by the seeds.

I also find broad-leaved cinquefoil. We can't mix it up because it has completely different growth. The narrow-leaved grows in the Julian Alps.

On Jež ridge in some hollow I find willow gentian.

Only in this hollow was white hellebore next to the willow gentian.

I think for the first time this year I encounter marsh ragwort.

Clusius' potentilla is currently a staple on my hikes.

I still can't identify the smiljk. This one grew on the scree along the path from Planina Dolge Njive toward the foot of Veliki Zvoh.

I discovered only two edelweiss right at the fixed cables on Jež ridge. None elsewhere.

Now some pink color - pinkish-red dežen.

Here too I stumbled upon stands of these cute pink dryads. Probably the many-flowered dryad.

Narrow-leaved sedge on the saddle below Veliki Zvoh.

There is virtually no svišč, surprise find - Pannonian svišč will bloom.

Now my rockjasmins which I'm especially studying this year - this is round-leaved rockjasmine - loves shade and moisture - grows under overhanging walls along the path below Veliki Zvoh from Planina Dolge Njive.

Only on Jež ridge in the gully before the cables I find Host's rockjasmine. Found it here last year too, but didn't know which one.

Above Planina Dolge Njive fully two rockjasmins - bright green and furrowed.

Now just two unknowns - found this along the path to Kriška Planina from Rozka. It is the delicate pojalnik.

Nearby I found only such a kukavica. It is pikastocvetna kukavica.

Finally I present the only yellow one, which I also saw in the arboretum above planina Pod Liscem. It is avstrijski divjakovec.

Flowers close up. It wasn't only this yellow one - there were many kosmata škržolice, grintov, gorska zlata rozga, poponov, nokote.

velkavrh14. 07. 2012 04:32:08

Currently can't fix it, but figured out the flower species on pic 26 - graceful broomrape - Orobanche gracilis - Orobanchaceae. It's actually a parasite attaching to another plant's root. Several kinds.

Pic 27 - burnt orchid - Orchis ustulata - Orchidaceae.

Pics 28 and 29 are Austrian leopard's-bane - Doronicum austriacum - Asteraceae.

peter214. 07. 2012 05:45:44

Ciprje isn't called narrow-leaved willowherb. Those are two different plants.

velkavrh14. 07. 2012 11:51:36

Narrow-leaved willowherb or fireweed I already found in various literature last year - Epilobium angustifolium. The plant is also medicinal. Article published by officer Glas.

velkavrh14. 07. 2012 13:17:30

Today from Preval alpine pasture not exactly rich pickings, and even that I had to improvise a bit.

Forest ragwort -Senecio -groundsels-Asteraceae- there are many in the forest along Bornova pot.

Nearby is also the woodland hawkweed -Hieracium murorum-groundsels-Asteraceae.

This season somehow I haven't encountered the shining scabious or overlooked it -Scabiosa lucida-teasels-Dipsacaceae.

Should be the many-feathered knapweed -grows right under the shelter on planina Preval-

Azure knapweed -Centaurea pitrygia ssp. pseudophrygia-groundsels-asteraceae-both varieties grew at the same site under the shelter on planina Preval-

peter214. 07. 2012 14:26:57

Narrow-leaved willowherb is indeed a medicinal plant but this is NOT lady's slipper!!! Narrow-leaved willowherb and lady's slipper are completely different plants. On your picture it's narrow-leaved lady's slipper and NOT willowherb!

velkavrh15. 07. 2012 11:24:51

I don't know what's wrong, when I click on the pictures menu only the first three pics show up, not the last two, so I can't directly make out what's on the picture. No. 5 is shaggy knapweed -Centaurea pitrygia ssp. pseudophrygia-nabinovke- Asteraceae. The large plant was right below the Planšarija on Planina Preval. It is similar to the feathery one, but the shaggy one is more sprawling with numerous flowers. The flower in this variety is really huge.

Majdag17. 07. 2012 14:24:25

.. What is this red flower on the picture? Most similar to Velkavrh's alpine honeywort. Can't find it in the Alpine flowers guide either. Thanks for help...
