Which flower is this?

Apolonija3. 07. 2019 13:52:30

Brane, so that I don't write from memory, I now also looked in MS Slovenia. We have 10 different sandworts growing here and Gerard's sandwort (Minuartia gerardii) has synonym spring sandwort (M. verna subsp. gerardii). Some describe another subspecies (M. verna subsp. verna)
Of course mountain and four-toothed slanozor are different species. I'm just saying that low (H. pusillum) and four-toothed are the same and there are 3 subspecies. If I'm interpreting inaccurately or wrongly, please correct me. nasmeh

With flower names there are only problems,
it's hard to get to the right solution,
and even so we look into books,
the little flowers hold figs for us... velik nasmeh

Forget-me-nots and stemless carline thistle

Otiv, it's true, problems are with names, this white unknown is also your unknown and it's still in question.
Branko, thanks for directing me to sandworts, you surely have it right, but nevertheless, now that I've looked at them and also sent this sandwort around, the answers are more towards Austrian sandwort than spring one. Yours was definitely spring when you had it checked, mine is quite a bit taller than usual for this species. You didn't see the photo either, where I specifically photograph just a few sandworts together, where the stem and leaves are shown, they are smooth and everything more says that it should be Austrian, which are usually around 10 cm taller than spring ones, meaning around 20 cm. There are quite a few of this type of sandworts on the scree on the path from Zelenice to Begunjščica..... I'm sending 2 more additional photos on this topic for possible thinking in this direction too. nasmeh

Zlatica; I also photographed this "unknown" in 2015 at Zelenice. When searching for the name, they told me that it is AUSTRIAN SANDWORT.

Apolonija3. 07. 2019 18:04:37

I'm also for Austrian sandwort velik nasmeh

velkavrh3. 07. 2019 20:27:11

It will really be Austrian sandwort. But both sandworts are very similar in growth and flower. Spring sandwort has red anthers, Austrian has white. Both have almost needle-like leaves and grow in these dwarf pines.

Gerard's sandwort is a subspecies of spring sandwort. But it has larger flowers and lower growth. It also has red anthers.

Today I went to Snežnik to find grass-leaved butterwort, which on my visit last year on 18.7. was already past flowering. There were really a lot - between cracks, along the path, on the summit. Beautiful flower.

I don't know it, I just know it's not Swiss shield

Apolonija4. 07. 2019 07:42:45

Zvonček, it really is a beautiful butterwort. Not Swiss butterwort, but it is butterwort and most likely the hairy one. nasmeh

I agree with Zlatica, Brane, that the Austrian gentian is quite a bit taller than the spring one nasmeh

zlatica4. 07. 2019 08:50:26

So, I'm glad we all came to a unanimous conclusion that we can admire the beauties of the Austrian gentian around Zelenica. Otiv, I hope you're happy too that our white stranger now has a name. kati1909, as I see, the once-given determination has confirmed itself again. And Brane, thanks also for listing additional distinguishing features of both gentians. Zvonček, I wish you that the butterworts have now welcomed you, I also walked to Snežnik like that until I caught them. I know that joy velik nasmeh

. Where are the other flowers you met there? Don't deprive us of them! mežikanje

Zvonček4. 07. 2019 11:28:30

Of course there were quite a few other flowers blooming, Kranj and Turk's-cap lilies, globeflower, Austrian pasqueflower, alpine snowbell, fragrant orchid and those in the pictures. Last year, when the already wilted butterwort saddened me, Justin's and broad-bellied bellflowers and Lehmann's rockjasmine cheered me up, but now there's no trace of them yet.

Apolonija, thanks for the hairy butterwort.

Apolonija4. 07. 2019 12:48:06

Zvonček, you have vividly shown us both silenes, alpine and lowland. Thanks.

zlatica4. 07. 2019 16:03:06

Zvonček, you showed us quite a few more flowers, but white hellebores and mountain avens obviously weren't there yet, although they usually display nicely at this time, like e.g. 3 years ago....

Zvonček4. 07. 2019 21:59:44

No, Zlatica, white hellebore wasn't blooming yet, on the summit only rare mountain avens were "hinting" at flowers. Last year there were many in mid-July. Lp

velkavrh6. 07. 2019 06:23:54

darinka4, I'll play with your flowers:

1.-glacial crowfoot.

2.-Triglav rose

3.-mountain avens

4.-alpine lady's mantle

5.-stemless gentian

6.-alpine forget-me-not

7.-Turk's-cap lily

8.-golden cinquefoil

9.-same as no. 5

10.-Clusius' pasqueflower

11.-definitely bellflower. With low bellflowers, I'm always in a dilemma if I don't see the leaves well - I think it will be Scheuchzer's.

12.-starry bird's-eye primrose

Thanks Branko, this year we have wonderful flowers in the mountains. And they bloom long. A real feast for the eyes.

zlatica6. 07. 2019 08:10:48

Darinka, you always present us with nicer bouquets. Lucky there are some hikers like you who can step higher and to more high-alpine flowers. velik nasmeh

Otherwise, Branko, you were a bit too quick and mistyped, under 2. is our beautiful Triglav rose or shining five-fingers!!!

darinka46. 07. 2019 11:00:28

Thanks, they are similar: trig. rose and common pasque flower. Especially this year because there was a lot of snow, there are many flowers and they are beautiful. Under Črnelska špica we observed gentians. Colorfully gorgeous. If you see, many hurry too much. Just yesterday we wondered what they get from this hurrying against time? Even if you are slower, you still reach the peak, or not. The path is important, not the goal.
