Which flower is this?

velkavrh7. 09. 2018 04:53:04

Groundsels belong to the genus of groundsels - Asteraceae. For me the nicest is abraščevolistni, fairly common and delights us with strong yellow to light orange color. In Karavanks you find Kranj groundsel - I haven't found it yet. Forest (forest according to Flora Alpina only border) and Fuchs groundsel are very similar and we confuse them - at least Fuchs is common. Multi-toothed I don't know. The tubular-flowered can't be confused, because it seems already flowered out. Nice is Divjak groundsel. St. Jacob's (or šmarni cross) and rocky are similar and confused. Common groundsel we see in valleys. Less known are prealpine, multi-toothed, spreading, aquatic, cress-leaved, sticky. Unproven are alpine (also border), German (occurs in two subspecies which are also border); border ones are tall, marshy, Senecio fontanicola, Senecio vernalis, unproven border is also subspecies of Divjak - gerardian (also called gray groundsel). Interesting, Hoppe mentions stem groundsel (Senecio tenuifolia), which Flora Alpina does not - Hoppe states it grows only in Eastern Alps.

Rocky grint. Flowers can be misleading, but the leaves below prove that it is the real one.

Alpine grint - this year I photographed it on Visokih Turah in Austria.

I also photographed this in Visokih Turah - unfortunately I didn't photograph the flower itself. I suspect it's one of the sivic-

Hawkbits are also Leontodons or otavčiči. Already on home lawn I have common hawkbit. We have also high alpine, Swiss, autumn, gray, Berinian. We have unconfirmed curly-leaved. And some border - Leontodon croceus, subspecies of high alpine, subspecies of gray and also stemless one.

A bit of encouragement.

Alpska mastnica - below Bogatinskim sedlom.

Srebrni trpotec - Plantago argantea - from Vremščica - determined by Alenka.

Hostov kamnokreč from the path to the valley of Triglav Lakes - start was at planina Blato.

Kolenčasta krvomočnica - also from the forest before Vremščica.

Lepljivi lan from Zaplate - under Hudičevim borštom.

Kernerjev mak - Ledinski vrh - strongly orange-coloured.

Travnolistna vrčica - found on a hike on Velebit - Tulove grede.

Alpska možina - Črn prst - only not at the top - sites known only to experts of habitats - I am among them too.

Murka from Dolomites - Italy - photographed on a trip in the Rosen Gartna area.

Bledorumeni koreničnik - grows in Istria - photographed on the path of Six Waterfalls near Buzet. I have a gifted one and it grows at my home.

Yellow primrose-gentian photographed on the path to the Triglav Lakes Valley.

Nice flowers you collected, Branko. The silver speedwell is very interesting to me, I haven't seen it yet nor noticed it, as until today I wasn't aware that it exists. And which groundsel (I assume it's groundsel) is on picture 22? Picture 25 - grasses, very nice, but they are alpine foxtail and as far as I know this picture is originally not yours but from AM, who posted it this year on Foto-narava. Am I right? What about the other photos—are they yours? nasmeh

Only the last four were sent to me - the rest are all mine mainly taken with Canon which is currently broken. Not satisfied with Nikon. With every picture I exactly know where and when it was taken.

zlatica9. 09. 2018 15:07:23

Branko, what about groundsel? Picture 22. Do you perhaps know the species? lp

velkavrh9. 09. 2018 17:06:55

It's Divjak groundsel - Senecio doronicum. I have plenty of shots of this groundsel from various locations.

zlatica9. 09. 2018 20:34:48

Yes, thanks, it's really beautiful and interesting to me. nasmeh

Apolonija9. 09. 2018 20:50:24

oh, Zlatica, you've surely seen the silver speedwell already. It also grows on Slavnik. Maybe it wasn't flowering like that.
Branko, you've really excited me with these flowers.

To chase away the rain a bit with little flowers that I managed to capture with the lens under the north face of Mojstrovke a few days ago; I was really surprised that I could still catch some of them at this time, since they are more typical for the main flowering season. The gully and cold from the pile of hardened snow there helped. lp velik nasmeh

completely fresh cushion of homulič saxifrage - next year it will flower

still nicely flowering evergreen saxifrage

and this saxifrage is still flowering...

edelweiss, which one, I don't know, maybe Brane will know?

only specimen of still flowering alpine speedwell

nice specimen of pot-bellied bellflower that still persists

and finally a nice sunny greeting to all from above Šitna glava

After a more autumnal Bulgaria these flowers are currently blooming.

These are flowers of Kamnitega gozda - semi-desert - something unique in Bulgaria.

These two flowers were like mini edelweiss. Especially the first white one is unusually small.

This is Kamniti gozd. In between some grass can be found. Especially in spring it's beautiful here, since I've already found a lot of flowers now.

Whether it is šipek or not, I don't know.

Such tiny flowers that I held them right in my hand.

Gosji petoprstnik - I can't find it at all where I live.

Homulica - it had a very tall stem - 30 cm.

This one seems somewhat familiar to me. I think I find it by the sea too - it's bleda obloglavka.

This one is familiar to me too - kraški šetraj.

I photographed this little flower once again a bit closer - bleda obloglavka.

This little bush had such fruits - črni trn.

Otiv, I've really missed your photos...
Branko, you admired the beauties of Bulgaria and of course the little flowers too..I've looked at them and will comment on some:
1,2 surely from hawkweed genus, 6 really seems milkwort, cyclamens hold, 13 is hawthorn, 14 has flower like some touch-me-not, 15 looks like objed or izjevkav (differences between them are very small),17 looks like goose's five-finger, 18 sedum?, 19, 26 looks exactly like field gypsophila-albin, 22, similar to it is J. čistec, 25 gentian species....
Now some of my little flowers from yesterday from the alpine pasture above Kamnik velik nasmeh

. lp

judging by the leaves, I think it is Hoppe's primrose (similar only to the long-haired one)

Hello. I'm on vacation and have such a small computer with me that I can barely see anything. Brane, you awakened memories of the stone forest for me. Those are petrified tree trunks over centuries. It really is something special. The plants need to be studied. Before I even saw your thoughts, Zlatica, I was figuring something similar myself. Just 6 is not milkwort but capljevec, 14 strawberry tree, 15 like pale scabious, 12, 18, 21 homulica, 22 alpine savory (Satureja alpina), the last blackthorn.

zlatica20. 09. 2018 07:05:40

Polona, I also thought of pale scabious or Trent's gypsophila, but wasn't sure if any of these whites matched it. Exactly this branching of the flowers at 15 reminded me most of objed or izjevka, but I don't know scabious in real life. lp nasmeh

Apolonija20. 09. 2018 11:32:05

Yes, scabious grow in Bulgaria. Probably not exactly pale Cephalaria leucantha, more likely Cephalaria uralensis.

zlatica27. 09. 2018 08:16:14

Still a few lowland flowers before the frost..... nasmeh

Zvonček27. 09. 2018 22:06:11

Yes, the time is coming when we'll rejoice in every little flower before the frost takes them or snow covers them.
This one was sunning itself today on top of Jelenkamna.
