Which flower is this?

zlatica11. 08. 2019 20:34:27

Branko, my attention was drawn to the flower under 21 and 22. To me it looks more like some yarrow. What do you say to Achillea oxyloba? (Flora Alpina II. book p.484). And picture 3 - rock houseleek?

Zvonček, your picture 10 - isn't it one of the houseleeks?

Zvonček11. 08. 2019 21:05:44

Zlatica, it probably is a houseleek, maybe blackish houseleek. Would be grateful for confirmation or some hint mežikanje

. Regards

Apolonija11. 08. 2019 23:38:42

Brane, before I saw Zlatica's message, I thought it was yarrow, judging by the leaves and the inflorescence, and Zlatica identified the right species.

Zvonček, you're right nasmeh

Zvonček under no.6 is probably round-leaved bellflower. Belly bellflower and round-leaved bellflower have similar leaves. I think round-leaved has similar flower but a bit more elongated. Bellflowers do hybridize though.

Zvonček12. 08. 2019 20:56:52

Velkavrh, on my picture it's not round-leaved bellflower. It's been a while since I wrote something about round-leaved bellflower, also then in response to your claim that it's round-leaved bellflower. Hope I'll find it this year still. I think on all three pictures, 5, 6 and 7 there are belly bellflowers (slightly different shapes) nasmeh

. Regards

Apolonija, thanks. Blackish houseleek supposedly doesn't grow here. Regards

Apolonija12. 08. 2019 23:01:13

zvonček, it's hard to say for sure from the picture. What caught my eye was that red color and flowers that seemed whitish to me. You're wrong, it grows here too nasmeh

These are flowers from Austria from Osojščica, better known to us as excellent ski resort Gerlitzen. Unfortunately I haven't figured out macro on the new camera yet.

There were quite a few of these bellflowers. Similar to our spreading one, but flowers much smaller and not so spreading. Unfortunately the photo is poor.

This one was similar to the bearded one, but completely hairless.

On the edge of ski slopes full of Pannonian thistle.

It has such leaves - I think it's the right one.

Plenty of cotton grass - meadows dressed in gentle pink-violet color.

Fucksov grint - Senecio ovatus subsp. ovatus.

On top of Osojščica on unmown green areas full of Kranj or grey grint, rare here - Senecio incanus subsp. crniolicus.

Common eyebright - Euphrasia rostoviana subsp.rostoviana - plenty on these ski slopes.

On unmown meadows around the top still full of blooming arnica. These meadows are fenced.

I spot orange hawkweed too - not very common. Where it grows it colors meadows pure orange-red.

Subspecies of the superb pink - Dianthus superbus subsp. alpestris. The superb pink as a subspecies is a border flower. I saw it for the first time.

There were plenty of these little stars.

Common woodland angelica - Angelica sylvestris.

I researched these two bellflowers of mine. For No. 1, I concluded it's a bellflower that doesn't grow here, but it's borderline. It's a subspecies of spreading bellflower - Campanula patula subsp. rahorinae. The spreading one we find here only up to a certain height - regularly even in the valley on uncut, ungrazed meadows, slopes, and it's tall. My find grew more in the shade on the edge of these pastures, where there are no human interventions, mostly in shade at 1600m. It's low-growing. The flower is spreading, just more elongated than the spreading one.

For No. 2, I concluded it's alpine bellflower - Campanula alpina. In growth it's similar to the bearded one, but has no hairs and is lower-growing than the bearded. It grows here too - I haven't found it here yet.

The starflower is grass-leaved - Stellaria graminea. Interestingly, it grew right below the summit of Osojščica on a small meadow where it's not mown along the path down from the summit in slight shade. That's at around 1850m. The summit of Osojščica is at 1909 m.

zlatica14. 08. 2019 08:13:27

Probably you meant the bellflower Campanula patula subsp. jahorinae, which has calyx teeth quite a bit longer than C. patula subsp. patula, but that can't be seen from picture 2, except from the terrain or another photo, which you surely have.

Zvonček14. 08. 2019 21:19:00

Velkavrh, on your picture No. 2 it's not alpine bellflower. That one grows here only on Komn in Smrekovsko pogorje. This year I went looking for it end of July, but I was too late. But along the path to Komen I came across numerous bearded bellflowers that were completely bald like yours. Alpine bellflower is woolly-hairy. Regards

Apolonija14. 08. 2019 21:57:28

I agree with Zvonček that it's not alpine bellflower in the picture. Brane, if nothing else, look where the calyx lobes reach on your picture. They are shorter. In alpine bellflower they should reach over half the flower. Like in this photo:

Zvonček14. 08. 2019 22:02:22

Three flowers of the rose along the path to Grmada.

Apolonija14. 08. 2019 23:55:12

Zvonček, in my opinion it's not yellow garlic, but it can be yellowish. nasmeh

zlatica15. 08. 2019 10:08:14

Yes, Zvonček, on your picture it really is yellowish garlic (Allium ericitorum), on the picture below is yellow garlic (Allium flavum) from the Adriatic coast.
Then we have another very similar to yellowish garlic, that's rock garlic (Allium saxatile), which has a very dense inflorescence and longer bracts. My specimen is from the Karst. Regards nasmeh

Their beauty (this year) is slowly fading.

(+1)

Zvonček15. 08. 2019 21:54:08

Apolonija and Zlatica, thanks. I admit I didn't even know about yellowish garlic. But it differs quite a bit from yellow nasmeh

. Until now I've only come across the nice one (maybe it was the grooved mežikanje

), this one of yellowish color for the first time. And I know something new again. Zlatica, thanks also for the illustrative pictures. Really nice shots.

Today I walked paths between Češka koča and Ledine. Summer is departing, quite a few wilted flowers, blooming ones not even for all five fingers on the hand. Of course this applies to the area where I walked today. Marsh chickweed and "my" hairy bellflowers are blooming. Bertolon's hawkweed pleased me. Regards

Zvonček16. 08. 2019 09:14:08

Miri, nice photos of one of the most beautiful alpine flowers.

Deniss16. 08. 2019 10:08:09

Some flowers from Vojak, the highest peak of Učka. Even on vacation I can't rest. nasmeh

There wasn't much variety, but it was still very nice. Nice easy shady path along which I ate raspberries until full. Lp

zlatica16. 08. 2019 10:56:42

Well, Deniss, you've sent us a bouquet with Mediterranean inspiration. The bellflower on pic.13 interests me, because I don't know it, I'd have to look around a bit which one it is. If I see right, it's the same kind as on pic.5. Maybe someone who knows its name will show up. zmeden

Deniss16. 08. 2019 15:14:55

On the eastern coast of Croatian Istria between Labin and Komarnik there are very nicely arranged walking paths that partly run along mountain trails too. They are from 5km up to 25km long and also by elevation not so innocent. You gain up to 500m on them. I walked a 10km path and was mildly put thrilled. The path runs from the coast all the way to the tops of hills inland. It's a real paradise for herb lovers. You see and smell even more all from Immortelle, Thyme, Laurel, Sage, Mint... several kinds of Juniper visible and higher a real Dogwood forest with very tempting fruits but unfortunately still very astringent. Figs and blackberries not even mentioning. nasmeh

in short very nice for those who don't like lounging on the beach. When you find Shining Scabiosa or its relative in white attire the day is perfect. Lp
