Which flower is this?

velkavrh24. 07. 2013 03:30:21

You meant of course no. 53. Here's how it is. If we photograph open flowers from above of the corymb anemone, alpine kosmatinec and small anemone, the flowers are very similar and can mislead us. Important are leaves, stem and flowers on one stem. The corymb anemone has several flowers at the end of the stem, while the other two plants are single-flowered. By the leaves I can conclude that it's corymb anemone, although the corymbs aren't visible. For me, for example, the small anemone often escapes, although it's common. Best regards.

You're right, Brane, about the number, photography and botanical characteristics. Best regards, also to friendly otiv. One more flower for you two nasmeh

On the way to Vogel I came across this little flower. If anyone knows what flower it is, please enlighten me. Thanks nasmeh

otiv24. 07. 2013 16:48:03

Tolminc, on your picture it's evergreen speedwell, if I'm wrong, our botanists will correct me nasmeh

Tolminc24. 07. 2013 17:23:14

otiv thanks nasmeh

It's sharp whitlow-grass.

Apolonija24. 07. 2013 18:43:06

Draba looked different:

otiv24. 07. 2013 18:55:40

Everything is yellow,
and also green,
finding the name is complicated. velik nasmeh

Apolonija24. 07. 2013 19:43:34

Vito, that's true, but... look, how homulica has yellow flowers with five corolla petals, like little stars. Gladnica has 4 petals. Belongs to the crucifer family like alpine cress, konopnica, Pyrenean rockcress, šebenik, šparnica, mošnjak... See, that's how you can help yourself, I'm trying.. nasmeh

Today I botanized Krvavec and surroundings again - this time Jež ridge with Vrh Korena, Kalce, Kalška gora and entire Kalški greben.

I always find rock grit at the same place.

Flower of rock grit. It is on Kriška planina - nowhere else in Krvavec area I find it.

Clusius' primrose - very common throughout the surveyed area. Loves rocky terrain.

Currently only two species of small bellflowers are flowering abundantly - this is the pot-bellied one.

Above Razor saddle below Veliki Zvoh we find extensive stands - Scheuchzer's bellflower.

Comparison of both bellflowers - they cannot be confused - the pot-bellied one is smaller and paler.

I know where Zois' bellflowers grow - for now there are no flowers yet.

Alpine calamint or thoroughwort - common.

On the edge of the Dolga njiva pasture I find the first blooming blue preobjede,

Vaneža on the Jež ridge I do not find. Near the Razor saddle behind the fence of the landslide below I spot a field of vaneža.

Kamniške murke on Krvavec itself and on Dolga njiva pasture I no longer find. I find them on Kalci and Kalška gora.

In the rocks of Dolga njiva pasture I spot rock prerast - unfortunately I couldn't climb closer.

I know several habitats of planike in this area - they are blooming for now only on Kalška gora.

I pay special attention to kamnokreč - flower of the round-leaved one.

At the tufted kamnokreč the buds are visible - future flowers.

When I finally succeed in finding a blooming one, the little picture gets blurry.

For host's kamnokreč I know only one habitat, it still doesn't bloom.

Now the flowers that are unknown to me. I found a small habitat below the summit of Veliki Zvoh behind the net.

This is its beautiful tender pink flower. This is the pink kačjak or gadjak better known from Črne prsti.

For the first time I also find this white flower - on the Kalski ridge.

This is a bit closer this flower - it looks like white lepnica. It is the rock lepnica.

This is that low, barely six cm high fully blooming yellow one that I saw at the Celovška hut.

This is its flower. There was only this small patch under Vrh Korena at the path junction. I'm done for today. There were another two-thirds more blooming roses. I took nearly three hundred shots here, including panoramas.

Apolonija24. 07. 2013 21:08:48

You've got stamina and drive, Brane, I'm enjoying your photos, thanks.

Are you sure it's homulični kamnokreč? What about S. aizoides?

Don't you recognize pink kačjak???

On the last two pics it's creeping sadrenka I think. Lp

velkavrh24. 07. 2013 21:21:45

Of course I know it from Črna prst - gadjak or kačjak - just didn't expect it here. I know homulični or vednozeleni, don't know when I'll separate them. For white rožca I wouldn't take it for sadrenka - think it's different.

Those from Veliki Špič looked like this.

The next four pictures are from today. I photographed two patches. The leaves really aren't visible. The growth seemed compact to me. It was a nice clump of whiteness.

Apolonija24. 07. 2013 22:12:34

Yes, Brane, you're right, this plant looks more tender and flower more like some smiljka. I don't have any books with me to look.

anka 24. 07. 2013 22:21:51

Brane, new camera and experienced master almost matched, beautiful photos.
31 is lan predivec
34 is vednozeleni kamnokreč, homulični is compact cushion like moss
35 is nasršeni kamnokreč
40 is slanozor, Lp

Apolonija25. 07. 2013 00:37:16

Not used to such "prostrate" Silene alpestris, but thought of it.

For homulični kamnokreč I check if calyx leaves longer than corolla and paler yellow. Brane, you're a very good expert on alpine flowers. Good night!

velkavrh25. 07. 2013 06:47:15

anka, thanks! For this year I decided to survey mountain flowers at certain time intervals on the wider Krvavec and Zelenica area. That way you can find most of the blooming roses in a certain area. For the Krvavec area I know where certain flowers surely are. Some flowers fade very fast and are gone next time. I saw that well this time with kamniške murke. Previous time found them on Krvavec and planina Dolga Njiva - yesterday no sign there. Found them on higher sites - Kalci and Kalška gora, just starting to bloom well. This year there is a general blooming delay.

Slanozor I know well - no such flowers nor growth. Once spotted this crucifer, can't find it now. Know it's the same flower, think last year in rocks above road to Šenturška gora behind net. Alenka said crucifer genus.

Next round košutnik search Monday to Bogatinsko sedlo. L.P.

I found out that this is alpine catchfly and not alpine thrift. They are similar though. Catchfly has long slightly reddish-brown thin stems - it is common.

Apolonija25. 07. 2013 07:08:53

Good morning! Shall we ponder more? Just think not among crucifers, rather among primulaceae. Lp

Apolonija25. 07. 2013 07:27:39

Then there are also arenarias and mouse-ear chickweeds...

velkavrh25. 07. 2013 07:37:47

The genera still confuse me, yes, among the primulaceae. I'll research more, in spring I found it on the net. I don't remember where and who posted it. I'll check with Peter again.
