Which flower is this?

velkavrh28. 08. 2012 21:43:02

Today, an afternoon walk to Kamniški vrh from Sleva and even more late summer flowers.

There is a lot of Barrelier's speedwell-Veronica barrelieri-figworts-Scrophulariaceae.

There are many hairy bellflowers along the entire path.

I found two representatives of centaury - this is Fritsch's.

This is Gaudin's centaury - Centaurea bracteata subsp. gaudinii - knapweeds - Asteraceae. It has soft hairy grey leaves.

There is plenty of this onion along the whole path - beautiful is the scree or Kamnik onion - Allium kermesinum - alliaceae. It is an endemic of KSA. We have 20 species of onions growing here, 10 of which are montane.

Lots of monkshood, this one is variegated - Aconitum variegatum - aconites - Ranunculaceae. On the pass between Planjava and Kamniški vrh where the signposts are, everything is blue with monkshood.

Many flowers have already wilted like this betony - Jacyuion's betony - Betonica alopecuros - Lamiaceae.

This must have been the tufted bellflower.

Or they bear fruits like this fragrant Solomon's seal - Polygonatum odoratum - Convallariaceae.

Sticky flax is wonderful, but the photo is not the best.

I have found already wilting hairy sandwort-Minuarta capillacea.

Today to the anniversary of the bivouac under Kočna on a visit - it celebrates 60 years and its flowers.

The prickly thistle will last until winter.

Tomentose or Tatra hawkweed is still blooming. Exact identification is more difficult.

Now is the time for hairy alpine bartsia.

This last edelweiss right at the bivouac will soon hide on me.

Lower down there is plenty of silky-leaved bartsia or svinjaka.

There is also plenty of Carniolan primrose.

At the edge of the forest by Suhadolnik farm there is also full of autumn gentian.

Now the riddle - right at the bivouac this red beauty was growing. A really successful shot of stemless toadflax.

Finally I got confirmation that this is the round-leaved bellflower - Campanula rotundifolia - bellflower family - Campanulaceae.

The flower was really not well visible, but the lower part and the leaves on the stem were all the more. The lower leaves are round, those on the stem lanceolate. In general, identifying low bellflowers is a problem, except for Zois' and rough ones.

I also identified the alpine hawkbit - Leontodon hispidus ssp. hyoseroides - chicory family - Cichoriaceae. Its leaves are pinnately lobed.

Another photo of this hawkbit. In the valley there is now a lot of common hawkbit on the meadows. Such a flower on the stem is this little flower.

Whenever I go to the foot of Krvavec-Stiška vas I check the vegetation and find lots of things.

Surprisingly, above the village I even find resasti sviščevec - 850 m a.s.l.

Field mint-Mentha arvensis-Labiatae-Lamiaceae.

Flower of common hawkbit-Leontodon hispidus-chicory tribe-Cichoriaceae.

Common hogweed-Heracleum sphondylium-umbellifers-Apiaceae. Sometimes we called it bear's paws.

Velkavrh, on the twelfth photo it's cypress spurge, Lp

arko10. 09. 2012 15:11:51

Identification as cypress spurge fits better for the eleventh photo

Good morning, before heading to the Krvavec tour - Kalški greben and then back via Kalci, sharing some more successful shots from this year's tours.

Green Lobel's čmerika, there are also white and black ones. I didn't find black ones this year.

Resasti škrobotec - like the previous čmerika and this one is from the tour to Razor.

Kochov svišč - photo for identification - Razor.

At first glance I still cannot distinguish homulični and evergreen kamnokreč, but it is also similar to Hohenwartov, which is endemic to Karawanks and KSA-Stol.

This repnjak was from the tour to Virnikov Grintavec - hairy repnjak - Arabis hirsuta - crucifers - Brassicaceae. It has drooped a little, usually it is more upright.

This white flower I can identify - from Zelenice. It is early mošnjak - Thlaspi praecox - crucifers - Brassicaceae.

Still a spring impression from the tour to Košutica - Wulfenovi jegliči.

This is probably the last flower greeting from our mountains for this year. This time tour Kalški greben - planina Košutna - to Kalška gora and back via Kalci - return via Kompotela and planina Košutna.

We still quite often find marsh selfheal.

Typical autumn hill flower is bristly gentian-we find it everywhere and it blooms abundantly. It will last until snow.

Ivanščice still too-for exact determination you need more accurate flower photos.

Catching the last flowers like this Zois bellflower.

Also hairy bellflowers are later blooming.

Now a bellflower follows that I still need to identify. In any case it is pot-bellied bellflower.

Before it was the whole plant, here still its flower. Under Veliki Zvoh summit an endemic bellflower should grow-I don't know which. In spring I found three, four species there.

In somewhat hidden, dark, moist places there is still much dandelion-like or Turiš preobjeda. Exact identification is harder.

There is still some Grintov here-St. Jacob's gentian and it is characteristic and cannot be confused with others.

In the forest hides the silky-leaved candytuft or svečnik.

Here is the oval hawkweed or little sun. We recognize it by the stipules on the rear part of the flowers, which is clearly visible here.

There are still some thistles here - this is the handsome thistle.

The long-leaved mint is still there too.

This medicinal flower can still be found, as well as wild thyme. Everyone probably knows woundwort. Indeed, there are several species. This one is harder to identify.

I find the last flowering rock-jasmines - evergreen or homuljni ones. It is very similar to the KSA and Karawanks endemic Hohenwart's. I cannot distinguish them.

This is probably Traufellner's golden-saxifrage - likely a latecomer - it flowers in spring.

This is a cinquefoil - I'll try to identify which one. It could be the golden or Crantz's. They are harder to distinguish. I saw they have orange spots at the flower base.

Everywhere is dressed in this wine-red color - beautiful. This is the alpine catchfly.

Narrow-leaved sedge is still flowering. Is that right? Some classify it with the willowherbs.

This is the alpine one. If the leaves are distinctly toothed, it is stemless. The valleys are now full of the common one.

Now two more puzzles, sadly white flowers are hardest to see. This could be the bulbous anemone - here one flower, usually more.

This is another white flower whose name I cannot find.

I forward pictures of two bellflowers from below Veliki Zvoh from this spring. This is undoubtedly the inflated bellflower.

This is the other bellflower growing beside it. It is stronger, more intense, darker colored than the inflated one. The flower is slightly more elongated, turned a bit outward. Some identification said it is Beck's bellflower.

Is this flower common mokota? Photo taken in June on Konjščica pasture below Viševnik.

velkavrh17. 09. 2012 10:35:56

bostjanp, this flower is common nokota which I have up there under no.12. You have whole stand photographed, mine is more solitary.

velkavrh22. 09. 2012 19:44:24

Well I thought I won't photograph any flower more this autumn. This is from hike to Košutnikov turn this afternoon.

sabina196723. 09. 2012 19:31:02

or maybe someone knows what this flower is called... if memory doesn't deceive me, it blooms yellow in summer? Taken on Saturday on the path from Brda to Lipanski vrh. Thanks nasmeh

otiv23. 09. 2012 19:39:56

@sabina1967 probably it's the evergreen kamnokreč. Look a bit back on the page and you'll see it in flowering time.

sabina196723. 09. 2012 19:42:42

@otiv, thanks for the answer, but I already found the published photo, just wasn't sure if it's the right one nasmeh

velkavrh7. 10. 2012 08:46:05

06.10.2012 - so late last year I didn't photograph mountain flowers - from trip to Grintavec to Dolge stene. There's still much blooming. Most of course hairy sviščevec, and also some flower of stemless lepnica.

If nothing else I'll photograph this fern - don't know the name - I told myself at the start of the path.

On the very ridge of Dolgih sten there are still plenty of flowers - that's the spring marmot.

We also find the sharp-leaved globe-flower.

Almost at the top of Grintavec only alpine cat's ear left.

I also discover the last flower of the alpine rockcress.

No new mountain flowers really this year anymore. Maybe nothing wrong to wake memories on some nicest shots of mountain flowers and maybe unpublished.

Early in spring I saw the bellflower only at the parking lot for the hunting trail to the Korošica mountain pasture.

On all high-mountain hikes I encountered daisy-like nebina and there is plenty of it even in the mid-mountains. This one is from Kamniški vrh.

I can't pass by relikanijeva murka, which I encountered this year on several high-mountain tours. This one is from Montaž.

Currently we will still encounter bristly sviščevec in the mid-mountains and high mountains. This one is from Kalški greben.

Interesting shot of alpine madronščica. Interesting mainly because of the leaves, which are really well visible. Taken on Kalški greben.

Nice shot of mnogolična suholetnica - from the tour to the Triglav Lakes Valley.

There are huge numbers of yellow flowers - one of them is also Austrian divjakovec - this one is from Krvavec.

Forest slezenovec can also be beautiful - Planina Osredek.

There are also some mountain leeks. This is gredljasti from Kamniški vrh.

Also shrubby small flowers are beautiful - this is creeping sadrenka from Montaž.

I can't pass by this wonderful kamnokreč - I'm not quite sure if it's kranjski or not. It's from Razor.

Kamnokreči and bellflowers were my priority this year, but I didn't get far - I still don't know if this kamnokreč is evergreen or homulični. This was taken on the tour to Stol.

Common nokota can also be beautiful - from the tour to Kalški greben.

Why isn't common osat beautiful? It's prickly! Also from Kalški greben.

Many-flowered orlica from the ridge traverse tour Rodica-Črna prst.

Rožnordeči dežen is actually the trademark of Črna prst - there is a huge amount of it there.

However, the tube-flowered grint from Viševnik was not published, which I haven't seen anywhere else.

Perhaps for this time's end still wild bezeg, which I also didn't know until this spring - from Ljubelj.

Now I'm going to do statistics and make albums, for example, aurikel I photographed in spring on 20 hikes. Now to this year's selection. Flowers won't repeat.

In Slovenia there are over ten species of thistles. Yellow ones are not numerous, mostly they are violet in various shades. This is a representative of yellow-sticky thistle, photographed at Hudičev boršt.

Around Hudičev boršt we will encounter huge stands of sticky flax.

Only at the source of Završnica did I encounter common majnica.

In high mountains on every tour we encounter alpine arnica.

Everywhere we also find large-flowered črnoglavka.

We have blue and red variants of large-flowered črnoglavkas.

Very early in spring we find evergreen speedwell right on the peaks. This year I found it on Razor, Spodnji Plot. This one is from Tolsti vrh.

White čmerika is common. This one is from Planjava.

Razor was one of the most interesting botanical tours this year, because we can see various mountain flowers from Vrat, via Sovatna, Kriške pode, Razor. There is a lot of spring snowdrop.

From Razor there is also obirski grobeljnik.

We often encounter golden cinquefoil. We cannot mistake it because it is orange-colored - also from Razor.

In the high mountains on every tour we see huge amounts of Clusius' lousewort.

We will see elongated sow thistle more rarely. This one is from Montaž. We will also find it on Črna prst.

Summer is the time of Pannonian snowdrop. This one is from Skuta.

We have three types of gentian. This is the heart-leaved one. It is from Koroški slapovi this spring. At that time the waterfalls are full of water and it's worth a visit.

Beautiful photo of tufted-fruited rose - Komna.

We often overlook this beautiful low blue gentian - stemless gentian - Planjava.

Currently on every tour we will still find resasti sviščevec. It also grows extremely low. For example in Stiška vas at 850 m.

This morning I already selected the third this year's choice of nicer shots. I take quite more photos and that one flower also six times and it happens that no shot succeeds. And it happens that that flower I didn't see again in the same season. I rarely repeat hikes in the same season. Next year I will exactly explore the area of Krvavec and Zelenica. From existing sources I found out that I haven't found even half the flowers - interesting where they hide. I need to go more times to the same location, because they bloom in different months.

We find čemaž every spring also in the lowlands. I pick it for šinača and for with salad.

Gerardova črvinka is quite common in the high mountains throughout the summer.

The bushy jetičnik we overlook. It likes shade. This one was photographed right next to the hunting hut in Hudičev boršt. It has small bluish flowers.

On screes we encounter hayekova lepnica.

In the mid-mountains among tall grasses there is a lot of common kosmuljek.

The queen among clovers is the scarlet-red clover - it is not very common. We find it in the mid-mountains.

There are several species of glavinec, including yellow ones that I haven't found yet. Among the violet ones it is quite hard to distinguish. This is the single-flowered one from Viševnik.

Among gentians I like the orange abraščevolistni the most - we find it in the high mountains in the Julians.

In spring the common volčin surprises us, even in lowland forests.

There are many species of kamnokreč. The klinolistni one is harder to notice. Usually we find it near some rock crack along the path through the forest in the mid-mountains.

Undoubtedly, among the hawkweeds, the great hawkbit is the most vividly red, which we find more rarely. This one is from the path from Viševnik.

We encounter the great yellow hawkweed on all paths throughout the season.

The silver alpine catchfly we will surely find on Črna prst.

The most beautiful of the garlics is probably the scarlet or Kamnik garlic - this one is from Kamniški vrh.

On Kamniški vrh the grass-leaved orchid is common.

There are several species of gentians - this is the pyramidal one from Jenkova planina.

Even in the lowlands we find bearded pinks - this one is from Viševnik.

We still find stemless lady's mantle in the high mountains - it is very common.

Currently, the autumn cyclamen delights us even in the lowlands.

Nice, the flowers will warm us again on cold, foggy days.
LP!

velkavrh15. 10. 2012 14:10:17

I have the fourth and fifth selection of mountain flowers ready. I hope I manage so they don't repeat. I'll post only those I'm somehow sure are correctly identified. Many remained unidentified for me too, either poor photos or similar flowers too alike like low bellflowers, where I distinguish Zois's well, and bushy, pot-bellied I can already mix up. Low bellflowers there are over ten species. For recognition need to photo leaves and stem too, which doesn't always work. Each time I'll post twenty flowers.

velkavrh16. 10. 2012 13:17:23

Today already the fourth selection.
