Today on the way from Plaz I picked a nice "pušeljc" of wild asparagus. This year they are very early and plentiful. Especially in Primorska it's already real spring, everything blooms and greens. Trees are also getting green leaves. Rešetlika is blooming already, dren is coming to an end. Apolonija: if you mean narcissi in gardens, those are in full bloom, but those on Nanos we'll have to wait for.

otiv, nice. Two-leaved sea squill - Scilla bifolia - this year I haven't seen it yet - pics 12 and 16. From March to May it is also common in valleys. Meadow and alpine ones are rarer. I know the meadow one grows on Planinsko polje. On Saturday I'm going searching for flowers again - not sure where yet. L.P.

Thanks Brane, among little flowers you always let off steam with the camera. Yesterday alone 160 shots. Sea squill is just starting to bloom, there is plenty of it also on the north slope of Ljubljana Castle, as well as common bellflower.
I'm wondering if on pic 11 the hepatica is in a different color than usual.
Best regards!

Yes, otiv, common hepatica - Hepatica nobilis - belongs to Ranunculaceae. For this nice spring flower, many local names are used. As kids we called it plavica. It is also called alečnik, jeternik, jetrene gamilice, mačka, mačkina očesa. The usual color is blue, but it is found from white to pink as you found. L.P.

Thanks, Brane! Apolonija already wrote that we have various hepatica colors, but I wasn't attentive to it in the past, now with more open eyes I walk in nature. Good luck with little flowers on Saturday.
Best regards, Vito

Today actually almost the first mountain flowers. The mid-mountains don't offer much for now. I checked the rocks around the hut Na Kališču, but haven't found leaves of primrose yet. Otherwise the forest is full of common wood anemones, common hepatica, common yellow anemone, black and fragrant hellebore, violets, nine-leaved cinquefoil, common aconite, white toothwort, large bellflowers, ramsons are sprouting already, pasqueflowers are appearing.

Oviv, I see you've also found no. 3 small-flowered cinquefoil. The center isn't visible, which should be red. You've also found no. 10 dogtooth. No. 13 will be wood violet - has round leaves. No. 8 is golden saxifrage - I don't know which, because leaves are needed for identification. No. 12 looks like wild cherry is already blooming. No. 11 you have chicory already, which will soon be full in forests - leaves are supposedly edible for spring salad. It has characteristic leaf rosette with pinnate serrated leaves, single flower on central stem - it's common stinking hellebore.

Brane, thanks! Isn't that a wood strawberry in the third picture? The white flowers I got in the orchard, and I'd say they are plum flowers.
Nice regards!

Hello! I see that you're diligently taking photos, which makes me happy. Otiv, you found the pink hepatica, bravo.
I wandered around Prekmurje. There wasn't much time for the flowers. Mainly the same ones are blooming as the two of you already showed, Brane, Vito; some have already wilted. I must say that some have larger flowers - wood anemones, daisies... I found some that aren't on Gorenjska or that I haven't encountered yet, namely common heron's-bill, great evergreen and hollow cockscomb white variant. In some groves the ground is covered with them and pinks together, so they form dense carpets. Some fairy-tale experience, accompanied by a strong scent.
Colors are generally more intense. Forsythias glow in gardens, ornamental cherries and plums are in full bloom. In nature bees collect nectar from countless flowers of blackthorn and wild cherry.
Otiv, years ago I brought "wood strawberry" to the garden, but I didn't get any fruits. Then I learned about "white cinquefoils". No, not all have petals from "five fingers". There are also those that divide only into three, like strawberry plant. If you turn the flower and it has 2x five sepals, it's cinquefoil and not strawberry. There are small-flowered, Carniolan and sterile. The first two are very similar. The last is rare here and has creeping shoots, the first two upright.
Petals of Carniolan cinquefoil are longer than sepals, small-flowered has approximately equally long sepals and petals.
Sepals of small-flowered cinquefoil are reddish
on the inner side, Carniolan yellowish. Well, Otiv, now determine which flower it is on your picture. With a bit of imagination I would choose Carniolan cinquefoil myself, wood strawberry has petals together - they touch. Lp

Hello Apolonija!
I was already thinking that your computer had "crashed".
Nice that you found time for a trip and changed the environment or rather the flowers a bit, as you yourself wrote. And judging by the photos, it was very nice.
Given how big Menina is, one would expect to see more specimens of some flower; that was the only specimen of pink hepatica that I saw. About wood strawberries, better that I stay quiet next time. But I like eating them, and with a big spoon.
Good luck!

Otiv, hi!
I wanted to show you what different color shades of hepatica grow in my area. I think I "missed them a bit" or the ice contributed its part. The shots are poor. Regards

Hi Apolonija!
I see that sharpness bothers you too, like me, so I photograph one flower multiple times, at home I delete the bad shots. Doesn't hepatica change color also from sun exposure or are there really so many different colors? Probably one can see from afar where you live, from all the flowers we've seen on the forum.
Nice regards!

vito, you're right. Hepatica slowly fades as it "ages". I consider that. Shades not well visible in photos, in nature really one deep blue, another more violet, third white, light blue, light pink, bright pink. And regardless of sun or age. Of course colors more intense when opening. Probably all cross.
I really have quite a lot of plants, especially botanical ones dear to my heart. Went to various fairs to get them, I have a survey of plants in Slovenian nurseries at my fingertips. Since my garden is not large, flowers compete hard and in "stories". Ice destroyed much, so this year I can buy more, then only care for existing and photographing. Good advice you gave - each plant multiple times, so at least one good photo

Since nature doesn't offer primrose yet, I'm posting my cultivated one.

Brane, really nice pictures of the violet. I'm curious how you determined it's the short-haired one and not another, like the wood one? Lp

We recognize wood violet by round leaves. That's the most recognizable sign. We find it in forest-in lowland forests and also higher. Loves shade.

Good morning! Even rounder ones has scented violet in my opinion. I trust your judgment. Bothered me only that your stem seemed leafy, which short-leaved don't have. Next time interesting to show spur, sepals, leaf underside more...otherwise not biologistslp
