Malenka, for me the tufted butterbur is one of the most beautiful mountain flowers. Yours on the 1st picture is a specimen par excellence. Too bad you didn't say where you found it. Lp

malenka has a good camera and also takes time for photographing and knows what to shoot on flowers so the pics are good for identification. I still have to actually learn that.

Tufted butterbur I photograph every year. But I think I've never found it at home.

velkavrh26. 09. 2020 09:09:06

I photograph one-flowered fleabane always in Austria or Italy. At home I don't know if it grows. I have three pics. This taller-growing fleabane Hoppe presents in his handbook as alpine fleabane-Erigeron alpinus. I don't remember how they're shown in Flora Alpina handbook.

This photo is really from this year on the trip to Brennkogel-Visoke Ture-Austria -at 2800m.

I never paid special attention to ferns. A few years back I found right on top of Ablanca -2004m - common moonwort, which somehow isn't like other ferns.

This is my young moonwort among the leaves of alpine spleenwort.

I don't know many ferns-this really can't be mistaken-deer's tongue.

Wall-rue also doesn't really resemble a fern.

Probably alpine polypody -probability determined by malenka

Malenka presented beautiful shots of mountain avens to us. I've seen both already in Austria. Years ago above Soča village on tour to Bavški Grintovec I saw a whole rocky slope clad in colors of common mountain avens. The yellow-flowered -Juvan's- I haven't seen yet.

In 2013 I climbed this Grintavec. This is common edelweiss.

Zvončica, all my butterbur pics are from Slovenia, upper Sava valley.

Velkavrh, on the last 2 pics among ferns there is brown spleenwort.
On pic 4 it's probably alpine woodrush.

Edelweiss are a very demanding group of flowers and only a few experts distinguish them. As much as I follow them on forums, they also seem to be incorrectly identified at least apparently. There are quite a few also in the valley. What interests us here primarily are those that grow in the mid-mountains and high mountains. I photograph them regularly, but I know that for identification one needs to photograph the leaves well, the flower itself and the stem. For that, time is needed, which I for example on guided tours do not have, and of course a good camera - which I currently do not have either. I plan to buy a better one next year. I even had an edelweiss from Vremšica (gifted - I do not know which species it was) on the rockery and it grew nicely for a couple of years. Last year we tore down the rockery and the edelweiss went I do not know where. For me, identification gets complicated already at that edelweiss that grows right under Triglav on that side when coming from Dolič or from the Triglav Saddle up. I do not know if it is single-flowered or not. Only with the rock one do I think I do not err. Determining the Carinthian one is already questionable.
