- malenka; as I already wrote, even now I repeat: I like to learn from your flower pictures. At the same time doubts arise about my naming of "my little flowers"; is this "jacquin's" or "your single-flowered" primrose? Photographed at Okrešelj (Mrzli dol). Please help "my dilemma"; thanks!

Kati1909, there is single-flowered rockjasmine in your pictures. i.e. single-flowered rockjasmine.
As the name indicates, there is only one (sometimes 2) flower on each stem. In Jacquin's rockjasmine there are 5-12 flowers in a 'bunch' on the stem.
Best, malenka

Many thanks, "malenka"; I will correct the mistake in "my naming"!

malenka presents us mountain flowers one by one. Mostly I've seen them already - of course not all and probably never will. Hiking season is slowly ending - after two-thousanders first snow has fallen, which is nothing unusual and last autumn flowers are still blooming. It's raining and I'm at the laptop reviewing tours of the past eight years, when I started photographing mountain flowers more accurately. In this time I already have the fifth camera. The best was still Canon. Now I have the third Nikon, but I'm not satisfied with it.
Interesting is her woodrush. I photographed woodrush on a tour years ago in High Tauern.

Velkavrh, the short-haired surely not , malenka's photos of this woodrush really tempt one to go to Zasavska Holy Mountain and try to find it. Regards

Velkavrh, I think your woodrush is the sandy one (I can't be sure because there's no scale in the picture), very rare with us. They have similar flowers (sandy one a bit smaller). The sandy one has smaller leaf rosettes - 1-3 cm in diameter (short-haired 3-7 cm), similar for the stem leaves, which are narrower than those in the rosette in the sandy one, same width in the short-haired one. The sandy one grows only on silicate rock, not on limestone.
kati1909, both names are used, ločje and loček (Wraber even uses the latter in his book 2X 100 alpine plants in Slovenia). That's why I didn't insist on changing the name in the gallery here.

malenka, since we're talking about loček or ločje, something similar interests me that I found along the path to Debelo peč a few years ago, and I've never been sure what it is, although anka vončina wrote to me back then that it's Jacquin's rockjasmine. Picture quality is poor, maybe you can still tell if it's single-flowered rockjasmine or something else.
I'm also attaching a similar plant more from autumn time from the path to Slemenova špica over the scree, which also reminds me of single-flowered rockjasmine.  lp

malenka, the field knapweed shown above surprised me and at the same time reminded me that I had almost completely forgotten about it and whenever in recent years I spotted in nature something very similar to Fritsch's knapweed, which is the other subspecies of C. scabiosa, I didn't even think, what if it's not F. knapweed. So I went to check MFS, what it says about the differences between the two;
field knapweed:
-leaves are short-hairy on both sides, barely shiny, lobes ovate to lanceolate-ovate, rarely entire
-appendages of involucral bracts 2.5-3mm, on each side with 5-15 cilia
Fritsch's knapweed:
-leaves on the upper side glabrous, shiny, lobes lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, exceptionally also entire
-appendages of involucral bracts 1-2mm long, on each side with 6-10 cilia
malenka, is there perhaps some other distinguishing feature between the two, because from now on I will look at them more closely?
On your first photo you can see the lanceolate lobe on the upper leaf and also quite dense cilia on the involucral leaves, which indicate a larger number of cilia. About the distribution it says that it is not exactly known and that it seems the field one is rarer.
I'm adding one of my photos of field knapweed from the Juliana Botanical Garden in Trenta, which I found in the archive (the label was under the flower) and one photo of Fritsch's knapweed from Tamar.

Zlatica, with the leaves I myself couldn't determine the essential difference, also because there are differences within the same species.
Visually, the field ones are quite different precisely because of the longer, protruding, light brown cilia or appendages on the calyx leaves - in Fritsch's they are much shorter and dark in color, actually black.
I too most often see Fritsch's, field rarely. In the Materials for the Flora Atlas there are two images, almost identical: on the first all field as a group of both subspecies, on the second only Fritsch's. For the typical subspecies there may not even be enough data to treat it separately.
If you go to the upper Sava valley to look, you will surely find more field knapweeds. They can be seen along the road.
