Which flower is this?

peter21. 06. 2013 19:33:58

On picture 22 it is really the smallest bellflower, but I don't know why it should be an albino? This bellflower is always like that and is not an albino. On picture 23 there are two different bellflowers: the blue one is the common alpine bellflower, below it the smallest alpine bellflower. Also for lungwort determination I wouldn't put my hand in the fire. Orchids, especially on Pokljuka at the junction for Mrzli studenec, are often hybrids. Nunka can be blue-violet too. For identification, stamen length matters, longer than the pistil in nunka.

peter2, thanks! Didn't know at all the difference between alpine bellflowers. Lungwort is surely correctly identified. Found the orchis, only two identical ones on Kranjska dolina pasture. At Studenec now blooming only lots of tall globeflower and spring alpine sow-thistle and early barrenwort. Didn't find others.

First is elder finger orchis, pogačica is common, no golden pasqueflower, no Carinthian lungwort either, Lp

Anka thanks! With orchids really not at home and many other places. Have my albums - also pasqueflowers around twenty species, among them all four white - alpine, plane-leaved, Traufellner's and Sugguiere's. Among low mountain have golden-yellow and mountain. Think it's mountain - has five corolla and five calyx leaves, habitat right and time too. Only now studied all three our lungworts and realized it's narrow-leaved. Have huge own material from all over and sometimes impatient with very similar flowers or first seen. But admit I'm trying. L.P.

Velkavrh, you really can't try harder, so I check a bit myself and correct some trifle for you, found in Mala flora Slovenije. Your knowledge and expertise is exceptional, you truly deserve all congratulations and praise. Lp

flowers are wonderful... please tell me where Kranjska dolina and Studenec are

velkavrh3. 06. 2013 14:31:52

Studenec is right after the road after the turns at Zatrnik straightens on the right side-that nice meadow. A bit earlier the asphalt road turns left towards Bohinj. So at the bend we turn right onto gravel, past some weekend house. On the right is that meadow named Studenec. There are also direction signs that direct us further to Planina Lipanco. After a few km on the right side we spot the beautiful Planina Kranjska dolina. On the right side behind the pasture by the road there is even some abandoned mountain hut. L.P.

Today on botanical exploration of Zelenice with nearby surroundings. I went to the source of Završnica and even to the shepherd's hut located under the hut at the source of Završnica. On the ski slope itself there are no snowdrops yet nor pinks on the slope on the right side of the ski slope. But there's already plenty of other stuff a bit higher and further on.

Already at the start of the ski slope I find two orlice together. The left one is large-flowered.

On the scree on the right side of the ski slope there is a large stand of alpine velse. It looks like recent snow damaged it.

Blue colour is added by grenka grebenuša.

Behind the scree I notice šmarna hrušica - nice white-flowered shrublet.

At the edge of the ski slope repuh is seeding. This one will probably be white. Here snežni also grows otherwise.

On the ski slope itself all blue from spring svišč. This svišč is actually everywhere.

On the left side of the ski slope I already find marjetičnolistne nebine.

Below Vrtača hut on the left side tall jeglič begins, there is plenty of it on Zelenica itself and on pastures too.

Above the hut, the alpine cat's-ear already appears.

Above the Vrtača hut I encounter Wulfen's primrose; on Zelenica itself and further on there is plenty of it.

Along the path to the Vrtača hut there is a lot of common catchfly.

On the scree by the path blooms Waldstein's willow. It is a low shrub common on the edges of screes.

Before the hut at Zelenica I spot the white crocus.

Early globeflower appears already on the pastures before the Vrtača hut.

Along the path towards the Završnica spring I find red catchfly.

On those rocks before we reach the top of the chairlift to Zelenica I spot auriculas, which we cannot approach. I managed to get close to them.

At the Završnica spring on a rock I find evergreen speedwell.

Below the hut at the Završnica spring on the pasture there is a lot of Clusius' rockjasmine.

On the rock on the pasture, three-leaved liverleaf, a small yellow beauty and even dandelion were keeping company.

So this is that little beauty - the two-flowered violet.

Saxifrages won't bloom for another week - this one is round-leaved.

Now two that are very similar in their limestone rosettes. This is clustered saxifrage. Extremely hard leaves to the touch.

The other one. This is scaly saxifrage - the most common. It had softer leaves.

The rock is full of drabas - probably heart-leaved ones.

This one is, I think, the Jurassic or pinnate spleenwort.

There is a lot of solid petelinček. It flowers very early, later we see only leaves. We also have the hollow one. In the solid one, leaves are divided, in the hollow one they are whole.

This is the Bohinj repnjak, and there is plenty of it.

Great!
I happily look at your photos and thus revive previously known names. nasmeh

LP!

This page is already better than any book on alpine flowers, really nice posts and as jprim says, it's nice to repeat with you. nasmeh

Primorska hills are also in bloom. Today on Nanos... For the last two photos please help if someone knows what it might be...

Forest spurge - plenty of it everywhere...

Illyrian bellflower - on summit slopes still in flower buds...

Illyrian bellflower - lower down already flowering...

Somewhat pale dog-rose flower after rain...

What could this be? My mother-in-law apparently called this one wild garlic... and it really smells like garlic... but uncle Google says wild garlic is bear's garlic...???

Lots of it at the foot of Nanos... Thanks in advance for the help :-)))

They will be other leeks, yes, I think beautiful leek.

velkavrh6. 06. 2013 03:51:35

GITA, under the 7th picture is most likely common speedwell. Both, common and bitter—lower leaves in rosette and bitter taste—are blue, while tufted is pinkish-red. But for exact determination of the blue ones, the leaves must be well visible.

We have several types of dog roses too. This is common dog rose, which blooms light pink—Rosa canina—for rosehip tea—full of vitamin C.

Primorska hills I know botanically little, just a week ago we were at Kuclj. There are several wild leeks. Beautiful leek I find around Kamniški vrh. Here it's never so tall. They can be exactly determined only during flowering, as they differ by flower.

Grass-leaved iris I already found a couple days ago near my home in Kranj area—I was quite surprised by the find.

Tears flow for Gita's rosehip,
each tells another story.
For the sad it will be healing flower,
for the happy heartfelt tonic.

Thanks

...if there's a chance, I'll go see this leek when it blooms, to see what comes out of that head nasmeh

This one I don't know the name - common speedwell

otiv, as always wonderful pics. I'll have to go to you for lessons. On picture #14, you have next to žanjevca srkodlakova vojolico-at least I think. This violet has leafless stem. Under #16 is navadna šparnica, which is very common right now. Exceptionally interesting is your kukavica. Such with those leaves in between I haven't seen yet. I'll look around a bit. L.P.

otiv, your kukavica is vretenčasti ušivec and so I wasn't wrong about those leaves in between. I noticed it blooms before they drive livestock to pasture.
