Which flower is this?

babim17. 07. 2012 18:17:33

Maybe it's capitate knapweed (črnobinovke)

Today on the crossing Mali Bogatin-Kuk and from there back to Komna.

Edelweiss already at Bogatinsko sedlo and then on all peaks from Mali Bogatin to Kuk.

Somewhere around Mahavšček I discover habitat of relict (black) blackberries and nowhere else. They are completely the same as on Črna prst.

Already on Bogatin I spot habitats of Triglav flowers and then on all peaks.

I found habitats of alpine catchfly - beautiful.

Since we're at blue color - there is a lot of potbellied gentian.

With its blue it stands out Triglav gentian or sleepyhead. Characteristic for it is that it has an elongated calyx.

Here it is a bit closer. It is very similar to the low gentian, so it could be that one too.

The tufted rockcress has finally begun to bloom.

In some grassy hollow I even find vanilla orchid.

On scree slopes rules the spiny thistle - Cirsium spinosissimum.

Pyrenean dragonwort - Horminum pyrenaicum. I already found it recently on Črna prst. This one grew above the Za Mihovc pasture. There were many of them.

Rhine gentian - has very small flowers and light blue flowers, which is not best visible in the picture.

Upright speedwell grows by the Black Lake - I went up there to Komarča.

There are many of these little flowers around Komna, last year I found only one. It is dark scarlet marsh orchid.

Those tall yellow flowers with large blooms are plentiful around the hut on Komna and even at the starting point by Savica waterfall.

And its flower - common fireweed - Telekia speciosa - Asteraceae, is an introduced plant and is said to have been brought here during WWI.

And finally, narrow-leaved fleabane from Komarča.

Some floral snapshots from the visit to Ratitovec. I'm not the best expert on flowers, so please join in if I'm wrong in naming the flowers, or if the blossoms are unknown to me. nasmeh

Probably also rockjasmine, but which one I don't know. - Spanish houseleek

Nice combination, hairy trefoil and rockjasmine, but which one I don't know. - warty

What are they called - Willow-leaved primrose

velkavrh18. 07. 2012 16:55:26

otiv are you competing with me? No. 18. is the now ubiquitous willow-leaved primrose; no. 17 is many-flowered blackhead; no. 13 is probably Spanish sandwort-seen from the leaves-probably was more in the sun, that's why reddish leaves; no.15 is crusty stonecress-though leaves are poorly visible- has some rosette whose leaves are strongly calcareous in this variety.

Today on Špik-Hude police. One could say that it's the mountain of Relikanija's speedwells. They start already below the hut and grow almost to the top - beautiful. But not much rockcress.

To start right away with the relict murkas. I just couldn't get enough of them.

I also came across modest patches of Triglav roses.

There is plenty of inflated gentian - note the upper flower which is full.

Common grintavec-Scabiosa columbia-ščetičevke-Dipsacaceae.

Creeping gypsophila-Gypsophila repens-Caryophyllaceae-They are pink and white colored. There are plenty of them.

Fringed sandwort-Arenaria ciliata. Gerard's chickweed and this sandwort are almost identical in flower and growth.

It should be Hungarian knautia-Knautia drymeia-Dipsacaceae-field knautia is more bluish in color, but they certainly differ by leaves.

Right at the top of Špik-Hude police I encountered the only rockjasmine of that kind-not the same as the previous one. But it is almost at the end of flowering.

For identification purposes I am posting this photo which did not turn out well-after checks it should be clustered rockjasmine. It is described as leaves like dryas, stem from the middle and several flowers at the top.

For identification I am posting the complete study of this edelweiss-it grows in rock crevices.

South Alpine mouse-ear hawkweed-Cerastium carinthiacum subsp. austroalpinum-Caryophyllaceae.

@primoza, the first one by my judgment is one of the violets, exactly which I don't know. On the second and third picture are carnations, there are quite a few species and similar subspecies. For the fourth flower I don't know the name. By the flower I'd classify it among orchids, that's more guessing.
Best regards under Durmitor. nasmeh

babim19. 07. 2012 22:17:52

velkavrh - according to my booklet it's the last South Alpine edelweiss (klinčnica)

velkavrh21. 07. 2012 06:20:02

Just for the study of speedwells I'm posting speedwells that I found last year on Veliki Špič and this year Relikanija's above planina Pekol and during Bogatin-Kuk traverse.

This one also grew on Veliki Špič near those bicolored ones.

This is Relikanijeva murka from Mahavšček, on the traverse Rodica-Črna prst there were many of them all along the path. However the photos didn't turn out, but they were exactly the same as on the other two of our Slovenian sites. This year I haven't seen

Today all flowers of Stol.

Just behind the parking lot at Ljubelj common soapwort-Saponaria officinalis-pinks-Caryophyllaceae.

Above Zelenica from the forest onwards a lot of bare larch.

It is also full of pinkish-red catchfly.

When screes and rocky areas begin, the vegetation changes - beautiful mountain blues, so blue.

There is also plenty of hairy rockcress.

It is Sieber's phyteuma - Phyteuma sieberi.

It carved out a place in the rock fissure - it was extremely small and very shaggy.

Most is hop rock-jasmine among rock-jasmines and crusty of course next to eroded. This is the hop one.

Found only one growth site of this rock-jasmine - I think it is the musky one.

Sea milkwort as much as you want and creeping gypsophilas.

This is Hayek's catchfly - Silene hayekiana - pinks - Caryophyllaceae and it grew next to scree primroses and Spanish silene.

Finally this season I stumbled upon large patches of Zois bellflower on the upper path to Stol. It was really a joy to watch.

In a certain area it was full everywhere. It skilfully inserts into rock crevices and fills them with its light blue colour.

There are also Scheuchzer's bellflowers. Always three bellflowers appear in rock fissures - besides these two also the pot-bellied one.

For these I'm no longer sure which they are. They grow in grasses. Beck's and woolly-leaved or Carniolan bellflower are very similar. The round-leaved bellflower is very similar and probably it is that one.

The round-leaved bellflower has thin stems, below the leaves are round, along the stem thin, linear. Unfortunately the lower leaves are not well visible.

Today, flowers from the hike to Vodnikov dom on Velem polju and on the way back from Bogatinsko sedlo via the climbing path to Viševnik.

On these summer tours in the Julian Alps I cannot pass by the relict speedwells. There are plenty of them around Vodnikov dom.

I was very surprised because I discovered stands of relict speedwells also below the summit of Viševnik.

Now to the bellflowers - on the path from Studorski preval to Vodnikov dom I find the tufted bellflower - Campanula thysoides carniolica - Campanulaceae..

In the rocky fissures blooms Zois' bellflower.

Clear depiction of how the bladder bellflower and Scheuzer's bellflower differ. They grow together, but no hairy ones were observed. In the grass there is yet another bellflower that I cannot identify.

Pinkish-red hogweed - Heracleum austriacum subsp. siifolium - Apiaceae - is plentiful everywhere.

Rockjasmines are in bloom - this is the bluish-green one, there are also Host's, glandular, scaly, furrowed, round-leaved;

Woolly-headed thistle - Cirsium eriophorum - Asteraceae - on the pasture by the cable car on Rudno polje.

Two blue knapweeds appear - this is probably Triumfett's.

This one causes me problems in identification. It is supposed to be the large-rayed - Centaurea macroptilon - Asteraceae.

Even better pictured. It should be recognized by its involucral leaves protruding outwards.

Pinks are still blooming. This is the wild pink - Dianthus sylvestris - Caryophyllaceae.

On the descent from Viševnik to Rudno polje a large clearing all in red - tuški nageljček locally - bearded pink - Dianthus barbatus - Caryophyllaceae.

Beside these pinks grew this red beauty. It is the great burnet saxifrage - Pimpinella major subsp. rubla - Apiaceae. But we also have the common burnet saxifrage, which does not have such beautiful flowers,

Here too I found only two plants of skalne prerasti as on Črna prst.

For the end the indispensable edelweiss from summer tours. This time from the mountain arboretum above Vodnikov dom, unfortunately only with some ten flowers. I would set up at least fifty there.,

How from Bogatinsko sedlo? You mean Studorski preval? nasmeh

...thoughts are racing nasmeh

velkavrh26. 07. 2012 06:37:54

MartinaP, thanks, by the way I mix up everything. Of course it's Studorski preval. When we descend from the pass and refresh at the clear spring which dries up further down in summer, we go left towards Srenjski preval. Can go straight, but I went on marked path far left and that path then actually turns back at some saddle and goes high above the cirque. Path is secured-cables. But narrow and exposed, so only for experienced-adrenaline. Thus you extend the path by half an hour actually, as below it says half hour to Srenjski preval, one hour to Viševnik.

MartinaP26. 07. 2012 20:24:03

Velkavrh, everything is good for something. You mixed up a bit, I consequently learned something new. I didn't know about this path. nasmeh

amarilis27. 07. 2012 00:56:16

@ Velkavrh Too bad we didn't meet on Stol, the published and shown "photos", I admired them too, but I couldn't because I forgot the camera - in the car. Next time with more sense! Lp

Today for warm-up to Češka koča before tomorrow's Grintavec. Worth it. Three flowers first seen this year. Showing them first. This early marmot I hadn't encountered until this year.

Early gentianella-Gentianella lutescens-gentianellas-Gentianaceae.

They were right at the Czech hut and this is a large growth.

Another surprise at the end of the path at Umik Žrela in the scree-Froelich's gentian-Gentiana froelishii-gentians-Gentianaceae.

This is a garlic. Possibly the beautiful garlic or scarlet (Kamnik garlic). Scarlet has nicer, compact inflorescences, so more likely the beautiful garlic-Allium carinatum subsp. pulchellum-alliums-Alliaceae.

Zois' bellflowers wanted to hide from me.

Bertolon's aquilegia-Aquilegia bertolonii-also in the scree like the gentian.

Here it is clearly visible how this bellflower differs also by the leaves from the pot-bellied one. It is Scheuchzer's bellflower.

I found only two representatives of saxifrages-this one is evergreen.

This saxifrage is extremely common-it is found in rocks on the path up and down. It is the nasršeni saxifrage.

Many-headed fleabane-Erigeron glabratus-fleabanes-Asteraceae-were also at the hut.

Even here we find these flowers. It is the capitated lousewort-Pedicularis rostratocapitata.

Turnip monkshood Aconitum napellus-aconites-Ranunculaceae-also at the hut.

Marsh grass-of-Parnassus - Parnassia palustris.

This is hemp agrimony - Eupatorium cannabinum - Asteraceae.

This modest yellow flower grew near the parking lot - common cow-wheat - Melampyrum sylvaticum - figworts - Scrophulariaceae.

jprim27. 07. 2012 21:44:54

Interesting, my eye noticed this type of marmot already in the first year of hiking. nasmeh

velkavrh28. 07. 2012 03:16:11

Yes, around here there should also be the hairy and German marmot, which appear later and don't differ much. Last year I encountered quite a few in the Julians. But I can't distinguish them. The resinous marmot is that blue one, of which there are also many later until the snow.

anka 28. 07. 2012 13:29:21

Velkavrh, if the gentian from Veliko Polje had only one flower it's the fringed one, if the stem was branched with more umbels, then hairy.
On the tenth photo of the second set is evergreen rock cress, on the eleventh probably tufted, depending on how compact the cushion was. The last little flower is črnilec, probably the common one. Lp
