Brane, you'll/we'll probably have a hard time reliably figuring out which rockcress it is if our renowned botanist didn't.
I also find the Slovenian name for Braya alpina that Hoppe has, alpine dihnik, strange, because dihnik belongs to another genus - Sisymbrium.

Hoppe's handbook - Alpine flowers - was published by Narava in 2013. Translation done by Dr. Milan Lovka. I've mentioned several times that flowers are translated a bit differently than we know them. Even low rockcress - Arabis bellidifolia - is translated as dwarf rockcress. Of rockcresses this handbook has only alpine and shiny - Arais soyeri. Many mountain flowers we generally know are missing. Actually, it's a shame for such a handbook. Otherwise, it's fully usable - inside over 500 flowers described with color photos and expert explanation of leaves, flower - maps of areas.

Apolonija, thanks for help identifying my little flowers. When I have more time, I'll add names to the pics. Photos were taken on the slope of Vremščica at Slatna (914 m).

On Sunday going to Grmada to seek Blagaj's wolfsbane. Trip organized by PD Škofja Loka - botanical section. Departure by cars at seven in the morning from in front of the hotel in Škofja Loka. This is an extremely easy, non-strenuous, short tour. You can register only today at PD Škofja Loka. If it really goes ahead, I'll write on Friday or Saturday when announced, otherwise where else to seek aurikels. Last year I discovered it on surely some fifteen spring tours. L.P.

Going to seek Blagaj's wolfsbane or scented wolfsbane or both? Scented we usually went there to see around May 1. Lots of Blagaj's wolfsbane there nearby on Jeterbenk (or whatever it's called). Take good pics, Brane, the day will be nice. Regards

Both bloom roughly at the same time, so there's a big chance to see both in full. This year the vegetation is early again compared to past years. Jeterbenk is correct, of course, just huge fallen wood there. I'll try my luck on Kopitnik next week.
Nice greetings to all!

Brane, you're progressing in photography. Easter flower, as you call the plant on 13, is of course a garden one. Gardeners breed common pasqueflower - Pulsatilla vulgaris and sell in different colors. Among people the name "Easter flower" has spread for all garden pasqueflowers, although in reality this name is for Pulsatilla grandis from Boč. With us, it seems to me, 5 different pasqueflowers grow: mountain, alpine, white, large, common. What about the spring pasqueflower - Pulsatilla vernalis? Regards

Good morning! Today I delved into researching two violets around home.

Good evening Apolonija! I'll comment on your flower pics tomorrow - nice. I don't know all of them completely.
Your comment on the white low flower from the trip to Valvasor last week didn't give me peace and I really discovered the right name. It's spring whitlowgrass - Erophila verna. I found it in the handbook Flora Alpina. It's 3-20 cm high, the flower is only 3-5 mm large. It belongs to the crucifer family. It blooms from February to end of May. It's considered one of the first spring flowers of the subalpine zone. It forms extensive white patches.

Apolonija now it's your turn! A little rain and no hurry to go to Kalia. Among other things we'll plant American cranberries.
I carefully checked all six sets of pics and figured out.
1. On the first I see ferns awakening. I also want to arrange a shady and cool corner for these plants. The top left pic probably shows some polypody - probably last year's. But I don't understand what those plant leaves are on the bottom right pic. I know ferns too little to figure out if bottom left and top right is lady fern. Japanese even eat young lady fern.
2. Top left pic shows vetchling - reminds me of wood vetch - it has such vivid purple colors. Below it I think it's wood anemone. But this anemone is very similar to our garden anemone and the pic can mislead us. Top left is yellow anemone. Below it my so beloved spring hepatica. Mine didn't bloom so lush. Last year I brought it from Ljubelj.
3. Top left are mountain narcissi - our well-known keys of heaven. I also have plenty. I don't know where my mom got them. They've been at mom's house all the time I remember. Below is one violet - I had it years ago. Top right red flowers I don't know. Below it at least currently still undetermined violet for me. I try to definitively distinguish - wood, short-hairy, dog and some more. It's not fragrant - for sure.
4. Top left is red tulip. Looks low - don't know if botanical. Quite some years ago I knew lots of species from Darwin's to various botanical. One autumn I planted surely hundred bulbs - of course unprotected in Stiška vas. In spring hardly any came out. Voles had a feast. Even protective baskets next year didn't help, though I raised them above ground level. They ate everything from crocuses to sea onion and various snowflakes. Since then we had a field of narcissi. Below I think it's yellow American dog's tooth. I had it too. Top right is one nice strongly pink primrose. Which I don't know. For the sticky one too strong color and too rich bloom. Below it common barrenwort - at least I think.
5. The fifth pic presents riddles to me. Only bottom left I recognize some type of hawkweed. It's nice with that brown center in the flower.
6. Top left is common barrenwort. Below some type of carnation - don't know which. On the rock garden in Stiška vas I had fifteen species of various low carnations - among them also cultivated from nature. From that multitude I think we have only five species. Top right could be Wulfen's primrose. When they learned I was doing something at home with rock garden they competed who brings me what and I got this primrose as gift too. Since I had to dismantle the emergency rock garden and now have emergency growing place for these flowers, it seems it didn't survive winter. Below is my so beloved auricula. This one endured transplanting, as also the tall primrose. From marmots and anemones it seems nothing will come. My auricula has already finished blooming. L.P.

We have no garden, but flowers at home,
when they bloom we're both happy.

Brane, 2X bravo! First time you've tried so hard and found the right name for "your whitlowgrass", which is completely new to me too, and second, because you identified most of my plants.
1. Top left are nice aerial roots of ivy climbing the tree. Followed by two shots of Chinese fern Dryopteris cycadina. Bottom middle is royal fern, on the right are leaves of Disosma delavai, which is also native to China.
2. Plants are from nature and you named them well, the yellow one is indeed anemone.
3. You know the plant on the right, it's a relative of hardy silverweed, annual silverweed. Next to garden violet at the bottom is, I think, Rivin's violet.
4. You're right again. Next to botanical tulip is Primula dentata, next to dog's tooth again Chinese Jeffersonia dubia.
5. Top right yellow corydalis - Corydalis lutea, bottom again leaves of another Disosma.
6. One alpine primula from Switzerland, not Wulfen's, carnation from Bulgarian mountains - Dianthus microlepis.
OTIV, you have nice flowers at home and in nature. At least you don't have so much worry, work and also...expenses! lp

Otiv and Apolonija, thanks. I've been to Kokoš many times, but only this time did I notice the wood fungus, although it's really huge and grows right next to the path. I also saw the caterpillar live for the first time, hope we won't meet again. I'm very afraid of everything that crawls.
