Some pics of green hound's-tongue from my archive. Description is already at "Flowers".

Green-winged orchid (Coeloglossum viride)

Snow gentian (Gentiana nivalis)

Description: Delicate annual can be distinguished from similar gentians by smaller flowers up to 15 mm long, with whitish corolla tube with dark longitudinal lines. Stems up to 15 cm tall and slightly branched, with several flowers each. Plant has no non-flowering shoots. Basal leaves in rosette, ovate or elliptic with blunt tip. Margins slightly papillose. Robust calyx tubular, adnate to corolla tube with dark almost black longitudinal edges ending at calyx teeth. Habitats on limestone pastures and rocky meadows from 1600 to 2400 m, also in our mountains. Otherwise grows in mountains of northern, central and southern Europe, Asia Minor and eastern North America.
Flowers from June to August.

tulip, that's how it's written in the 2020 excursion program of PD for Selška dolina Železniki. I didn't check anywhere else if it's correct.

malenka knows mountain flowers also beyond our valleys. Maybe she'll unravel some mountain flowers from my ten-day tour in Romanian mountains last year. Nicer shots I posted here already last year. The following interest me too.

This should be some cableway. I think I've already seen it in Italy on the tour to Jerebica right below.

To me it seems it's called Carpathian bellflower here - I know it's cultivated in gardens here.

I've seen this bellflower several times at the start of mountain paths - it grows in shade.

This flower I saw on the return already in Vojvodina on Gudurički vrh - the highest peak of Vojvodina.

This awn is interesting - such a one I haven't seen here.

I can't identify the round-leaved bellflower - is it the true one?

This bellflower seemed especially beautiful to me.

Flower from the genus aster. It grew near the salt marsh at the Turda salt mine.

I also found pikčasti svišč years ago in Italy in the Dolomites.

This is rman. It grows at over 2300m altitude.

The photo is bad, but it can be seen that it is one prerast. Which?

malenka5. 09. 2020 20:29:31

I know nothing about Romanian flora. But I'll try.
First picture is a flower from genus Lomatogonium from gentian family. Similar I saw in Armenia.
Second picture probably stonecrop (Sedum maximum), some ornamental variant, such red I haven't seen in nature. Or maybe such grow there too.
Bellflowers have tons of species, all would be guessing. Even ours aren't well researched (not only from me, but also professional botanists).
Picture 5 is one of globe thistles (Echinops sp.) - many species, won't guess.
Picture 6 - maybe Erica multiflora or similar.
Picture 9 some monkshood, maybe Aconitum moldavicum, not sure, searched only web.
Picture 10 - as you note, some aster, perhaps introduced or garden escape like here, A. novi-belgii or similar.
Rest is puzzle for me too (arnica, bellflowers, overgrowth).

malenka thanks! Already last year I searched literature on the topic and actually found nothing. But interesting to observe flora in foreign valleys. Last year on ten-day in Romania we had mountain tour every other day and since I was last in group I could take lots. It was really interesting. And nice weather all ten days. This year unfortunately multi-day to Slovak, Czech and Polish mountains cancelled. Aconite stays on the list for next year.

Now presenting yesterday's last flowers of my this year's more keyboard hiking to Western Julians in Italy. With PD Železniki went to Dve Špici. I skipped the higher. Was only on first - Cima Vildiver-2008m. Some still found. At 1800m lots of wilted edelweiss. From rock jasmines besides furrowed saw only scaly one.

Marsh helleborines are characteristic flowers of late summer - the little one corrected me.

There are huge numbers of cup gentians - anyway I don't know which one. It had a more clustered compact growth - it was low.

On the whole path almost at the top of the mountain I found the only Clusius gentian. I also saw one small gentian - the photo is too poor.

Suholetnice are wilting - undetermined - Malenka said.

The last flower of the Triglav rose. But I saw huge stands - now of course only leaves.

Of the stone millets at the end of flowering only two - that is the hairy stone millet - Malenka pointed out the mistake.

The last modest flower of the alpine madronščica.

Of many flowers we see only the leaves anymore - alpine velesa and its little bells.

Lepen - indeterminable - the little one said.

Common wolf apple. Haven't seen so much along the path to Gouc yesterday. And bear pears - hawthorn plentiful this year too.

Apolonija7. 09. 2020 21:07:27

Hello,

malenka, I was guessing these Romanian flowers last year, this computer has no diacritics, sorry, and if you feel like it, please check them on page 335. Then I found out it's red homulica (Sedum roseum), later I saw it's a synonym for Rhodiola rosea and that I kind of Slovenianized it myself, for Erica spiculifolia (Bruchenthalia spiculifolia), Lomatogonium rotatum, Aconitum moldavicum...Nice regards to all, Apolonija

zvončica7. 09. 2020 22:15:10

Apolonija, nice to hear from you again. nasmeh

Velkavrh, you probably mistyped - not scree bellflower but bushy bellflower.

Regards

Rock campion (Silene rupestris, synonym Atocion rupestre)

Description: Up to 25 cm tall plant is glabrous, bluish-green. Leaves are lanceolate. Stem is branched from the base and not sticky. Flowers have five petals notched at the top, without distinct claw in the throat. Flower diameter is 6-10 mm. Flowers from June to September.
Grows on non-calcareous (silicate) soils, in rock crevices and scree up to 3000 m. Distributed in Scandinavia and mountains of central and southern Europe, also Carpathians and Transylvanian mountains. In limestone Alps it is rare. Does not grow in Slovenia.

Apolonija7. 09. 2020 22:30:06

Zvončica, thanks, on vacation I have more time, but such a small computer that I'd need a microscope. nasmeh

malenka7. 09. 2020 22:42:44

Apolonija, I don't know why Velkavrh asked again here, since you already identified almost all for him. Bravo for Bruchenthalia. If a person doesn't have literature on Carpathian flora, they can easily make a mistake somewhere, as comparing with net images is not reliable. Such identification by literature or web takes quite a lot of time - and in the end there are still mistakes ...

Best regards

malenka7. 09. 2020 22:53:57

Velkavrh, some remarks:
- not marsh but bog grass-of-Parnassus
- you write cup gentian then say you don't know which one. If it were in our country, it would surely be cup-shaped (if above tree line), but like this ...
- Clusius' gentian could also be Koch's - can't tell from picture.
- 6 - many-faced dryad could be single-scaled, not determinable from picture.
- 8 - definitely not furrowed rockjasmine, it's hairy one - well, I'd expect you to know this one??
- 13 you say smooth lepen - did you check the underside of leaves if not hairy?

velkavrh8. 09. 2020 05:30:52

malenka thanks!

The cup gentians grew at 2000m. I looked at them closely and they were all the same in growth.

With the rockjasmine I got stuck.

With the lepen I really didn't check the underside of leaves.

At home I know where Koch's gentian grows. Probably doesn't grow in Western Julian Alps - not sure. I actually know Koch's only in my rock garden. Haven't identified it in the mountains yet.

zvončica8. 09. 2020 08:03:08

Malenka, for Parnassia palustris both names are used - močvirna samoperka and močvirska samoperka. The latter is more common. mežikanje

Just like koprivasta zvončica and koprivolistna zvončica. Most often we see koprivasta zvončica.

Regards

malenka8. 09. 2020 13:56:25

Zvončica, I follow the latest edition of Mala flora Slovenije (= Slovenian botanical bible). There it's only močvirna and koprivasta. Yes, all sorts are used, wrong names are copied and usage continues ... (I myself have made mistakes too).

Stemless thistle (Cirsium acaule)
The stem is mostly very short, sometimes up to 10 cm tall. Usually one flowerhead on it, rarely more (up to 4). Grows in many places here up to montane belt. Elsewhere in limestone Alps also in subalpine and alpine belt. Its range from Europe to western Asia.

Alpine lovage (Ligusticum mutellina)

Up to 50 cm tall, glabrous plant with multiply pinnate leaves that have thin, linear leaflets. Umbels mostly lack involucral bracts, partial umbels have them, their leaves are approximately as long as the flower pedicels. Flowers are small, pinkish-white or red. Blooms from June to September. Grows on alpine pastures and meadows, among green alders and dwarf shrubs and in mountain forests, mostly above 1500 meters.
Distributed in the Alps and other Central and Southern European mountains.
Distinguished from the red-flowering subspecies of great masterwort mainly by the leaves, which in masterwort are once pinnate, leaf parts are broadly ovate, masterwort is usually also taller, over 50 cm.
