Which flower is this?

velkavrh8. 07. 2011 10:45:19

Too bad, I really didn't smell the murk, but they were the only two specimens of that color. Grobelnik made such nice cushions among otherwise bare scree; it was really beautiful, and I got a good shot too, which doesn't always succeed for me. Grint conquered me too; I saw it only under Mala Tičarica. I surely snapped another twenty little flowers that I haven't seen this year yet, starting from a small speck which I still need to identify, and large yellow preobjede, and I'll show some if there's drought on my hikes like on Vrtača for example, when I had almost nothing to photograph, maybe later because two very rare flowers are supposed to grow up there.

To get back a bit to my previous velestika riddle. This time I stumbled on one already wilted alpine velestika which actually has taller stems. Adding pic.

Anka, we should view some flowers together! P.P.

This will be the right picture, sometimes I get confused and have to figure out how to delete or change the text if already entered. Since autumn I have a new laptop and haven't fully mastered it.

Picture 7: probably stemless lepnica in company with Clusius' svišč
Picture 9: maybe Scheucherjeva zvončnica
Picture 12: black murka

Today the whole afternoon I searched, compared, studied my flowers from my last hike. Many I haven't managed to study yet. But I have a couple.

Green valley of mountain chives - Allium schoenoprasum L. Several already have open flowers. It grows only on the path to Velika Špička.

Another representative of onions - bear's garlic - Allium victorialis L. Flowers are already opening. Found it near the chives valley.

Pink-red hogweed - Heracleum austriacum L. - umbellifers. Grows along the path to Planina Dedno polje towards Planina Ovčarija.

This is my round-headed phyteuma - Phyteuma orbiculare L. - bellflowers. Found on the path before the hut at Triglav Lakes.

Snake bistort-Polygonum bistorta L., grew somewhere before the rain shelter along the path. In Slovenia it grows only in the Julians.

Alpine hawkweed - Hieracium alpinum - hawkweeds. Grew at the collection lake above the hut.

This I searched for a long time - Jacquin's oxytrope-Oxytropis jacquinii-locoweeds. It grew just before the ascent to the rocks.

Alpine thistle (turek)-Carduus defloratus-nebinovke. It grows in scree already in the rocks.

Yellow lousewort-Pedicularis lutea, grows already on the ridge.

Long-flowered gentian, seen for the first time this year. Grows likewise already on the ridge.

This is clustered rock cress-rock cresses. Grows likewise on the ridge.

Škržolica is hairy, jeglič is long-flowering, the last is skorjasti kamnokreč, the rest all excellent.

babim10. 07. 2011 22:36:53

velkavrh - I think you should look under kamnokrečevke for the last picture, since prostrate evergreen leafy rosettes are exactly like grozdasti kamnokreč, only the flowers are 5-merous with a higher stem. Good luck!

babim10. 07. 2011 22:42:18

Anka - the last one surely isn't skorjasti kamnokreč, because I have a picture of it in front of me in the book and it has striped leaflets, on the edge with lime pits (appearance of white dots around the whole leaf). The flower is also on a taller stem in a clustered inflorescence. On the published picture there is only one flower on a low stem. I hope I'm not too strict. Lp

babim10. 07. 2011 22:49:57

After some browsing, I'm now sure it's grozdasti kamnokreč, and I looked at the picture better too; the flower matches.

These saxifrages and dryads confuse me a bit. This hike around Triglav Lakes offered me such diverse flowers - nothing made up, I recounted all the flowers I photographed. There were fifty of them and mostly I photographed them or came across them for the first time this year. Almost unbelievable - you see from yellow meadow-rue to golden finger orchid. Really a paradise for botany enthusiasts. For the pics I surely spent a whole hour altogether. If there's drought on my further hikes I'll post some more flowers. L.P.

The tenth picture definitely isn't bog globeflower, but long-flowered. The bog one you'll find, though quite harder, in Lower Bohinj Valley in a more marshy world, in the month of May; the long-flowered one you find well over 2000m high. Differences between both globeflowers you can check here: http://www.petersfoto.si

A few years ago I took these globeflowers on Erjavčev rovt along the path to Kepa. Wondering if these are bog or long-flowered globeflowers.

peter211. 07. 2011 18:24:13

jarsan: Unfortunately, one can't tell exactly from the picture which globeflower it is. It could be the bog one too. One would need to see the corolla tube - the long-flowered one has quite a long one. We also don't know what the habitat was and when they flowered.

velkavrh11. 07. 2011 20:46:43

More or less I identified my flowers around Triglav Lakes valley. But I have dilemmas which I'll present.

In a rock crevice protected from the sun this grew, like little pussies on moss. This is bristly saxifrage - Saxifraga squarrosa - saxifrage. It grows on the ridge of Veliki Špič.

anka 11. 07. 2011 21:50:30

On the 11th velkavrh photo it's surely clustered saxifrage, the globeflowers garden is bog one, mossy saxifrage is probably tufted. Can you edit the captions to photos?
