Which flower is this?

Probably you meant "muholovka" ..
Of course common sundews thrive here too, but more in rare places..

And one more thing.. it seems to me that in picture 12 they are not bloody cranesbills, but July flax.

Thanks, Peter! I use the ten-finger blind typing method and it goes so fast that I get tangled. I studied economics more than four decades ago, where we learned this. But I have completely forgotten shorthand.

Today I rediscovered this forum which is for the soul. Even if for various reasons you can't go to the mountains, you can enjoy looking at these beautiful flowers. I'll start from the last page and slowly walk to the first. I admire, velkavrh, your beautiful pictures and envy you a bit-))) the numerous trips. I'd like to tell you this: I too a few days ago admired beautiful lady's slippers at the described place. One or two years ago there was even a yellow-brown sea of them, this year only a little left. You can see scoundrels dug them out. So I think it's not good to describe the location precisely. Best regards

Brane, today at Kamniško sedlo I got a nice brochure with sixty descriptions and pictures of flowers that grow on Velika planina. There are spring harbingers, late spring, summer and autumn blooms.

tinky, I'm a bit ashamed to admit I don't have my own book on mountain flowers. I always borrow some. Now on Wednesday I'll go buy at Gorenjski glas the new book on mountain flowers. If I'm rightly informed it's only fifteen euros at the counter. Sorry if mistaken. They say it describes three hundred flowers. Author is foreign but excellent translation. I'll give my judgment when I see it. But for sure soon I'll go to Kamniško sedlo looking for Kamnik bellflowers, since so far I haven't succeeded with a good photo. Last year I made very nice shots of Relikan's black bellflower at numerous sites starting from Črna prst, Viševnik, planina Pekol to Rodica. Red bellflower now renamed bicolored I shot some year ago only at Veliki Špič which I plan to repeat this year. Certain mountain flowers found only there. Probably upcoming week I'll go hunt Zois violet around Vajnež. L.P.

On Wednesday 19. 6. I saw only one near planina Dolga njiva, and the shot didn't come out the best, but anyway, here it is.

Today again botanizing Zelenica and area. This time from Stari Ljubelj via protected path to Zelenica. Flowers so many I can't forward them all at once.

Already on the road to Stari Ljubelj it starts - immediately I spot a beautiful thistle above the road.

To the hut at Stari Ljubelj it is 45 minutes. Somewhere in the middle of the path the Austrian gentian starts.

About 20 to 15 minutes before the hut at Stari Ljubelj, our wild lily - kranjsko jabolko - starts appearing.

I couldn't get enough of looking at it - it is protected.

For the first time this year I saw it flowering.

Right before the hut on the right bank in the direction of the hut, a surprise. Among the normally colored, also a slightly more yellow one.

One species of lady's slipper and this common lady's slipper appear.

Above the hut I head to the left bank towards Zelenica. Soon I spot a stand of naked lepen. It had good conditions - there was a whole field of it.

At the scenic point Povna peč a surprise awaits me. First real mountain rockjasmine this year - scaly rockjasmine.

Further on I walk for at least half an hour through real fields of vanež. I've never seen so much of it anywhere.

We enter the high-alpine world - onto the ridge - the shrubs are blooming.

There is plenty of gray pasqueflower along the path.

Finally I capture in the lens the small delicate flowers of alpine kosteničevje.

These daisy-leaved nebine caught my eye. In my opinion they are already wilting and turning pink. It's still too early for dryads. More tomorrow.

Let me continue what was started yesterday after the tour to Zelenica from Stari Ljubelj.

I found the blackish homulica at two places on the Ljubeljščica ridge.

Spotted or just finger kukavica. I didn't photograph the leaves and now I can't identify. But they are similar.

On the entire path to Stari Ljubelj along the road on both sides only this kukavica appears besides the common kukavičnik. Higher up there is no more.

Along the road at Stari Ljubelj there are plenty of this kobulnica with characteristic leaves. I'll check which one it is. With kobulnice I'm not at home.

Not yet fully bloomed flower of this kobulnica. This is gorski silj. Surely recognizable by the leaves.

There are plenty of this along the road too. It's slowly wilting - jayuinov čistec.

With lučniks I always get confused which is which. I think it could be Austrian, only this species has compressed flowers at the stem. Black and hairy have similar flowers - only black has hairs on the outer side of flowers.

Platanolistna zlatica. There were no small white zlatice on the entire path. On the ridge there is a lot of alpine velesa.

Along the path there is also plenty of meadow goat's beard.

Four types of restharrow appear. This one is dioecious.

Long-leaved naglavka. In brighter places it has already finished flowering. There is plenty of it, however.

At the last bend, where there is a viewpoint on the Košuta ridge or Veliki vrh, there is full of this tiny greenish beauty - common speedwell.

In the forest above the hut at Stari Ljubelj there are still plenty of woodland flowers, including fragrant wintergreen.

On the Ljubeljščica ridge already the first flowers of hairy alumroot.

Almost overblown ušivec. Let it remain unidentified, as it is harder to determine due to overblowing.

This is wintergreen again, I think it is not the Noric one.

These poppies still baffle me. It was along the entire ridge. It is small. Not large-flowered or egg-shaped. Therefore it is the mountain one.

When we overcome the cables we are in the world of anemones. There are loads of them.

Smiljka. I don't know if it is the same as in the Kamnik alpine world. This one has long stems.

On the Zelenica ski slope I find stands of Kerner's poppy.

Montpellier pink on the right bank right at the start of the Zelenica ski slope, going uphill - finally they have flowered - they smell wonderfully.

Sternberg's pink has much more vivid colors - common also in the high mountains - they grew next to each other.

Now a surprise at the top of Zelenica near the hut - white albin orlica.

Next to it grows the darker one - I compared the flower. The dark violet one is July hawkweed. New name - previously it was Bertolon's.

Rock draba is recognized by characteristic leaves. St. Jacob's draba has similar leaves, only its flowers are more clustered at the top.

So that we won't go to the end of the week without flowers, I go to some smaller peak and there flowers are blooming too. This time from Mengeš Hut to Gobavica.

Small-flowered gentian. Characteristic of gentians is that usually only one species grows at one site.

Flower of the small-flowered gentian. It won't be hard for us to recognize it, as it has a completely yellow flower.

Flower of the peach-leaved bellflower. It prefers shade. Hangs from rocks.

This is proof that it is the real one. It has stipules.

By the road I also find this little beauty - I'll identify it later. This is the woodland inkcap. First time I found and photographed it. I haven't encountered it until now.

miri28. 06. 2013 20:02:04

I don't know their names.

anka 28. 06. 2013 21:13:32

Echium russicum, in Slovenian maybe Russian viper's bugloss. Cousin - common viper's bugloss living in Slovenia is like this:

miri28. 06. 2013 21:24:48

anka, thanks. This one is at home on Zlatibor.

velkavrh28. 06. 2013 22:53:36

miri, it's gorgeous! I really want to go, say, on May 1st to Mljet, Hvar, Brač, because then everything blooms. When we go on vacation, it's often already mostly past. Last year the vegetation at the end of July on Hvar around Milna was completely dried out. L.P.

Apolonija29. 06. 2013 14:18:09

Beautiful, this viper's bugloss; it's also at home in my garden. I didn't bring it from nature, but from a plant fair. Grows in the Caucasus, I think. Anka, what do you say about Echium amoenum? This one and E. russicum are very similar. I haven't seen that it's a synonym.

velkavrh29. 06. 2013 20:17:38

Today flowers also from the 2500 m high Rjavina.

This is the long-flowering hawkweed. It grows soon after the parking lot on that nice meadow on the left side, if we go uphill. It is proven correct because the corolla tube is shorter than the calyx. It is very similar to the hairy one.

Fragrant wolfsbane just below the summit of Rjavina.

There is a huge amount of round-leaved campion - this one from the top of Rjavina. I didn't notice the white relative.

Of course we can't do without Clusius' candytuft - it grows all the way to the top of Rjavina.

Thyme speedwell - subspecies Veronica serpyllifolia subsp. humifusa.

Spring marmot below the summit of Rjavina.

Stemless campion and Pyrenean rockcress are neighbors.

First surprise at the summit of Rjavina - Obir grobeljnik.

Second surprise also at the summit of Rjavina - musky rockcress. This is a subspecies of the furrowed one. Determination confirmed by Alenka. 100 percent that it is furrowed - probably musky.

This one could be the Carniolan, it also belongs among the three furrowed ones. But I saw leaves of several species.

Now with the new apparatus I'm experimenting a bit. Next to the long-flowering jeglič there should be round-leaved zelenka. First time I've seen them.

Stajska metlika or good jurko - Chenopodium bonus-henricus

I'm interested in what the little flower Heart strength looks like or if someone has a photo so I can see it?

On the hike we spotted some little flowers but weren't sure if they were the right ones: small, flower is yellow and a bit orange in the middle.

Zebdi1. 07. 2013 13:19:55

I think it could be the right one. Otherwise google "Potentilla erecta".

Best,
P.
