Today along the path to Zelenica I came across a flower I don't know and I'm asking for help.

I'm also posting some photos of little flowers along the path continuation to Palec. There were lots of edelweiss and Zois bellflowers and although I posted some of their photos already from the Mojstrovka trip, I couldn't resist two more from today. Hope it doesn't bother you too much. nasmeh

first along the path to Palec - hairy bellflower

Zvončica, it's sharp-leaved mallow-Malva alcea. The more violet one is woodland mallow. Both grow in my immediate vicinity, so also lower.

Hawkbits possible two -mountain hawkbit-Leontodon montanus subsp. montanus or curly-leaved hawkbit-Leontodon crispus, which is borderline flower per Flora Alpina.

zlatica10. 08. 2020 06:56:47

Yes it's mallow, just small correction to Slovenian name, Branko, it's sharp-leaved mallow.
It's nice, Zvončica, right?
I photographed it on top of Slavnik less than a month ago, probably didn't post it. Lp nasmeh

velkavrh10. 08. 2020 07:04:02

Thanks zlatica, I got a bit hooked up.

zlatica10. 08. 2020 07:05:31

Yes, I know, one quickly mixes up a word. velik nasmeh

zvončica10. 08. 2020 10:06:55

Velkavrh, Zlatica, thanks to both.
Zlatica, really beautiful this sharp-leaved mallow. I think you didn't post it. Lp

I've done some research since 2018 on the tour to Ankogel-Austria on unprocessed unknown flowers and got confirmed findings from experts. Only grint is from the tour to Brento-Italy. That was by far the most interesting tour regarding mountain flowers. I saw more of them for the first time-among them glacier gold and more. Ordinary dog's tongue is from Risjak in Croatia last year.

Next week I'm going for four days to Austria to conquer Sarntal Alps. If we're lucky with the weather we will conquer 10 peaks all around 2700m high. I know for a rich alpine botanical tour it's about a week too late, still I hope to capture as many mountain flowers as possible.

This is common hound's tongue-Cynoglossum officinale-photographed on a trip to Croatia -at Risjak-it also grows here.

All subsequent small pictures are from the 2018 trip to Ankogel -Austria -this is furrowed saxifrage-Saxifraga exarata subsp. pseudoaxarata. It is a border saxifrage. Limestone-Exarata subsp xx-does not grow with us.

Alpine mountain sorrel-Oxyria digyna -also grows with us-I have not seen it yet.

I did not get confirmation that it is saxifrage-Saxifraga bryoides-does not grow with us -but it is border.

Two-flowered saxifrage-Saxifraga biflora -I have already seen and identified it in Austria a couple of years ago-does not grow with us.

One-flowered fleabane -Erigeron uniflorus -grows with us -I have not noticed it yet.

Alpine ragwort -Senecio alpinus, according to Flora Alpina it is a border flower. Photographed in Italy -trip to Brento.

Alpine bittercress -Cardamine alpina -photographed on the trip to Ankogel.

I encountered these flowers by two drying lakes - Palško and Cerkniško lakes. Of course, these flowers differ substantially from high-alpine mountain flowers, but it's interesting to me because I got to know completely new species too.

zlatica, interesting and instructive-praiseworthy! I don't know most of them. Marsh whistle I've been searching for about a year, but I haven't found it yet. Those red-colored edelweiss I can't distinguish. Grint I haven't found either. Jointed bloody sedge I even grow on my flower beds. Amethyst moss I always see on vacation at the sea.

Today I'm finally going with our retirees for the first time in the corona period on a hike to Velika Planina. I'll see what else I'll see from the otherwise rich floral wealth of the mountain. Otherwise, next week I'm going for four days with PD Rašica Ljubljana to the Sarntal Alps in Austria. Austrian alpine flora is always interesting to me because each time I discover something new that doesn't grow with us.

zvončica13. 08. 2020 17:57:14

Zlatica, you surprise us again and again. And we're richer again for a few flowers. Rough allium and marsh whistle are something special. Best regards

From the flowers on Velika Planina it can be seen that summer is slowly departing, at least for mountain flowers, because late summer flowers like marsh self-heal, cross-leaved whistle, cup whistlewort, Turkish glutton are already blooming.

Dark-red marsh orchids are still blooming.

There is a huge amount of woolly-headed sedge.

There is also plenty of narrow-leaved sedge.

The Pannonian gentian has already bloomed out.

On the top of Velika Planina at Grančišče I found overgrown rock sedge.

zlatica13. 08. 2020 20:45:40

Branko and Zvončica, thank you. I'm glad that there's also some new plant for you two, since you already know a huge number of them. Yes, on Velika Planina it's really harder at this time to find flowers, my husband is a frequent guest on the mountain and reports to me how it is there with plants, so I know they are fading away. And cows trample and eat a huge number of them. Considering that, you still found a lot.
I'm sorry you didn't go to Mangart, I see that the neighborhood pulls you more than this end of Slovenia, as it eludes you every year in a row. I hope you'll collect a lot of little flowers at least in Austria.
And some flowers from Bistrica today. They are quite ordinary, but always beautiful to me.

silvij13. 08. 2020 21:17:01

Today on Kukova Špica

Bluish-green rock sedge, there is a lot of it from the saddle over Gulce to the top.

Evergreen rock sedge, there is plenty of it too.

silvij, excellent knowledge of mountain flowers.

under no.10 you have the same as I had on Velika Planina - the last spring edelweiss can still be found. The Triglav one is so characteristic that we can hardly mix it up.

under no. 11 and 17 you have Scheuchzer bellflower. These are actually the most common. They grow almost from lowlands to 3000m. They are always taller than pot-bellied or bushy ones. They have one flower per stem. Not in rocks. In rock crevices live pot-bellied, Zois and round-leaved. It's really hard to pronounce. I just call it Swiss.

under no. 12 and 13 you have Carinthian edelweiss. Somehow I'd only find rock one still, which grows in those characteristic clusters. I can't distinguish other edelweiss - we'd find half-stemmed, one-flowered - grows right under Triglav summit, south-alpine, Soča one. But there are many valley ones too.

I see there's much more flowers in high mountains. Of course on Velika Planina there are still plenty - we can find from avens to edelweiss.

Zlatica, even ordinary flowers on your photos are special nasmeh

.

Velkavrh, in my opinion on your picture no. 5 from Velika Planina it's rayed thistle. Creeping thistle doesn't have such bract leaves.

Scheuchzer bellflower is easier to pronounce than to write. mežikanje

Silvij, in my opinion on your picture no. 4 it's blue-green and not shaggy stone houseleek. Best regards

Velkavrh and Zvončica thanks.

velkavrh14. 08. 2020 18:34:59

Zvončica, I really looked at the thistle more superficially. The creeping one I always find on Črna prst.

I'll liven up our page a bit with my saxifrage photos. I'll note which I found in Austria. I focused on saxifrages a season ago. Still missing quite a few. Haven't found granular -Saxifraga granulata, unusual -Saxifraga paradoxa, mossy -Saxifraga androsacea, pungent -Saxifraga androscendens here yet.
