No time to check Stiška vas and the area more closely. From the car, I saw glandular St. John's wort, biennial speedwell, and much more already.

mirjam67, after checking expert material on black elder I found that it sometimes has such leaves too. Maybe I'm wrong.

Interesting little flowers blooming these days on the slopes of Šmarna gora.

Here cowslips aren't blooming yet, not even the pale cowslip you photographed. No. 4 is really primrose. Best

francimedved, large-flowered primroses -natural- I find as the first blooming of the year practically on my terrain in Stiška vas on unfertilized edges or slopes. In the flower garden I have garden primroses of various colors and various flowers. Seed packets are available - the most common is mix. They germinate easily, bloom the first year, self-seed. They tolerate transplanting.

And do you know how some call primroses at home? Whores, because they cross so easily. Soon new varieties.

Apolonija, thanks, now I really see that the difference is quite significant!

Velkavrh and Apolonija thanks for the info on the unusual elderberry. But as a curiosity let me tell you that on my father's garden grows an elderberry whose berries don't turn dark purple but stay light. Some kind of albino elderberry  When the time comes, I'll photograph it and show you.

The picture would actually fit better in the forum Which little animal is this?, but please look past it a little. The robber fly (if I identified it correctly at all) has chosen a pear tree for landing spot. A bit for variety so we don't stay put

No problem if besides the cotoneaster we learn about insects too. Nice! Best regards

This time I was curious what blooms around the Škocjan Caves. Yesterday's photo conditions weren't the best, too much wind, and many flowers are on too steep spots to risk it. In the Škocjan Caves area grow plants typical of warmer regions as well as those from mountain areas (including cowslip). The latter grow more towards the bottom of the sinkholes, but I preferred to stay higher up as the roaring of the Reka River seemed too scary.

B.C., you're good that weather doesn't stop you. In Gorenjska the wind chills to the bone. From the flower names I think you can remove the question mark. It's scarlet orchid, though it hasn't fully colored yet, and the vetch is correct too, the foothill one. Regards

B.C. I really need to go to Divača to visit aunt. I haven't seen Illyrian iris yet- I see it's similar to the Bohinj one. Common fritillary isn't in Gorenjska yet. Cowslip is already blooming. Of orchids I've only seen the pale one. Multi-flowered Solomon's seal blooms right near my home.

Apolonija, thanks for the help. Weather really doesn't stop me easily, but it's true we usually have a degree warmer than you, and we're used to wind too. I wasn't sure about scarlet orchid, some orchids seem very similar or appear in many variants. About vetches I know even less, I thought it was multi-flowered.
Velkavrh, on karst meadows around Divača there's always something interesting, so don't delay visiting aunt too much. There were quite a few Illyrian irises, and its habitat can be viewed from one of the viewpoints too. Next time I'll take a camera with more zoom, maybe with greater magnification from the viewpoint one can see what's growing on the rocks above the cave.

B.C. I don't know vetches either and you're surely right about the species.

B.C. - I looked at the genus of legumes to which both vetch and pea belong. Leaves and flowers of both plants are somehow similar, as are fruits similar to peas. The arrangement of flowers along the stem and the branching of the plants themselves are very different in both species. Although there are plenty of both in Flora Alpina, I didn't find the right one. It's true that this plant doesn't belong to the alpine part and that's why I can't find it. You must be a connoisseur of individual parts of our country. For two years I've been researching, for example, the flora of Hvar island, but for three quarters of plants I don't know the names, and I do it only in summer on vacation - the larger South Dalmatian islands are more interesting in spring. Next year I'll try to go down for May 1.

There is a picture on zaplani.net of the many-flowered one and it's similar to yours. Maybe it grows in your area. Otherwise it's really best, as you wrote, just grašica. Lp

When a person doesn't get to nature,
to see real little flowers,
only pictures collected here remain,
to feel a bit how blooming the meadows are.

Apolonija and Velkavrh, I see you've really delved into identifying grašica. I have a bit of a bad conscience because I sometimes give up too quickly on searching. I have too little knowledge, and when searching names I quickly get tangled and despair. Especially in photo enthusiasm I focus too often just on the flower, at home I don't remember anymore what leaves the plant had. And I've told myself at least a thousand times that I must photograph every plant whole first.
