Which flower is this?

velkavrh13. 06. 2020 17:51:40

Today I visited the Czech Hut and descended to Umik Žrela. There I was looking mainly for Bertoloni's hawkweed, but didn't find any. There were plenty of other mountain flowers on the whole path. Sadly I'm still not satisfied with the quality of the photos. Will have to buy such a camera as OTIV has.

Already at the start of the path right after the parking lot, the lady's slipper is currently in full bloom.

Let us protect this beautiful orchid of ours.

Almost the entire area traversed is full of alpine mastnica.

At this time July flax is already blooming.

Above the path around Hučevi kvanci I spotted fragrant hellebore.

For me, the most beautiful of the burnets is the woodland burnet.

In the rock crevice hid a low, even dwarf or star-hairy rockcress - Arabis bellidifolia.

Alpine betony, I also saw the Bohinj one.

Monstrous golden saxifrage, recognized by its characteristic leaves.

Around the Czech hut there is plenty of this golden saxifrage. These mountain yellow golden saxifrages are harder to determine. I know it's not the mountain one.

There is also plenty of stemless gentian near the hut.

Alpska barčija - hikers often ask me what this unusual flower is.

Branko, for your wolfsbane I'd say it's variegated. nasmeh

Today on the path to Raduha, please help.
Thanks in advance nasmeh

zokipoki13. 06. 2020 20:29:28

The first would be Heart strength, the second Triglav felwort... nasmeh

samoa13. 06. 2020 21:22:15

Under Stegovnik on the meadow these beauties grow.
If I'm not mistaken, it's globeflower, relative of buttercups.

zvončica13. 06. 2020 23:24:13

bos, zokipoki probably joked a bit, at least regarding Triglav felwort. On the first picture it's not heart strength but marsh orchid (which exact one, I don't want to guess), on the second it's forget-me-not.

samoa, yes it's globeflower. Regards

bos14. 06. 2020 07:05:35

Thanks, I also had forget-me-not in mind.

zokipoki14. 06. 2020 07:49:59

Zvončica, I wasn't kidding nasmeh

thanks for the correction, only now I saw that it has five petals on the flower, heart strength has six... so the first one is five-fingered orchid.. Triglav gentian though... nasmeh

zlatica14. 06. 2020 08:20:41

No, zokipoki, something's still off, heart strength has a 4-petaled flower, not six. That's practically its infallible identifying feature.
For the gentian you'll need to climb higher though. And maybe @bos will really delight us with it next time. velik nasmeh

Thanks zlatica nasmeh

...I'm in the phase of learning and getting acquainted velik nasmeh

...every correction is welcome,.. I see that it's the little things that tip the scale.

otiv, you're quite right about the striped wolfsbane. Striped wolfsbane we really find above 1500m.
At first glance both wolfsbanes can really mislead us.

Here we find six species of wolfsbanes. My picture of the blagayka has disappeared somewhere.

otiv14. 06. 2020 10:59:03

Branko, I'll bring Blagay wolfsbane so we'll have all. Regards

On the path from Long Meadow to Fat Košuta I photographed some flowers too, for which I ask for help with naming. In addition, a question how to distinguish between Pyrenean houseleek and stemless catchfly.

velkavrh14. 06. 2020 18:24:44

silvo1952

no. 1 - Pyrenean houseleek - correct
no. 2 - fragrant wolfsbane - this altitude is the border for the start of striped wolfsbane.
no. 3 - hairy sheath - possible mix-up with shaggy sheath
no. 4 - common milkvetch - at this height we already find alpine milkvetch too. Alpine has five-part leaves, common has three-part leaves.
no. 5 - flower is yellow, yes. The shot isn't close so dilemma if it's five-finger or little sun.

Attaching illustrative difference between stemless catchfly and Pyrenean houseleek.

Stemless beauty - here the leaves are well visible.

When in full bloom we find it in a dense cluster.

Pyrenean stone karst - has a much lighter color.

Here the leaves are well visible - like some kind of rosette.

Sometimes the stone karst is almost pure white.

silvo195214. 06. 2020 18:59:34

Thanks. For determining the name for no. 4 (93) I have another photo.

kati190914. 06. 2020 20:17:32

On our Kozjak quite a few flowers are blooming,
I went to look at them
before the rain wets them...- but some I don't know,
so Zlatica I give them into your hands..

zlatica14. 06. 2020 20:57:57

kati, 1. very nice picture of gentian, but neither leaves nor flower top are visible, which could tell more. Definitely not many-flowered gentian; the Austrian or woolly have red stamens. I'd say woolly, because it has dense panicled inflorescence.
2. probably columnar-fruited dog rose, although I don't see stem nor sepals, whether they are thorny.
3,4,5,6...correct.
7. yes, globeflower it is, but which one can't be determined without leaves. Flower doesn't reveal much.
8. nice reddish-brown burnet, 9. hardy silverweed, 10. edelweiss species. Regards velik nasmeh

Regarding monkshoods, we should mention the botanical peculiarity of Goričko - bushy fragrant monkshood. It is an endemic subspecies that grows only in the area of NE Slovenia, W Hungary and SE Austria. In Slovenia it grows exclusively in the area of the municipalities Šalovci and Hodoš.

Some lady's slippers from meadows at the foot of Uršlja gora, on the top there was a real field of narcissus anemones and some willow gentians. nasmeh

and a small unknown, probably one of the gentians

zlatica15. 06. 2020 09:53:03

Zvončica, more heads more knowledge, says the Slovenian proverb, and so you nicely alerted us to another special species of monkshood that was unknown to me too. Now I've read more about it. Very nice that this species exists too.

The upper set of flowers is also very colorful and beautiful, especially Kamnik willow gentians.
Number 8 is rock rampion.
