Hi all ,
A few days ago we visited an interesting habitat with calcareous grassland -here are some pictures:
Himantoglossum hircinum
Echium vulgare
Landscape
Geranium sanguineum
-
now in perfect flowering time :
Dictamnus albus
-
some interesting plants :
Melampyrum arvense
Special for Maggi :D
spec. leaves aff. Thalictrum
Vincetoxicum hirundinaria
-
some Ophrys :
sorry with the names .... :-\
Peter Maguire says :
"Since no one is prepared to try putting a name to the Ophrys in reply 3, I'll have a guess and say that Ophrys 3 is O. apifera, whilst all of the others are variable examples of O. fuciflora. But I'm quite prepared to be told that I'm wrong...."
-
other rare orchids :
Aceras antropophora
Group of Himantoglossum with Aceras
Salvia
salvia Group
Campanula
-
Simply beautiful to see this in nature.
-
next :
Aristolochia clematitis
a way with Helix
Helix with fruits
maybe Epipactis helleborine ( thanks John )
-
What a great selection of plants!
Thanks for the little Orobanche, Hans.
I wonder what the Thalictrum-like plant might be?
I am no ophrys expert- but do you not think the rather broad, flat lip on some is quite unusual? 8)
And as for the magnificent Himantoglossum- well!! :o 8)
Geranium sanguineum is quite a while away from flowering here - hmmm, I wonder if the Dictamnus would like to grow with it in our driveway! ;) ;D
-
another population of Dictamnus albus
...and for our Pulsatilla friends :D ( I have to go to this area in spring )
Have fun

Thank you Maggi ;)
It was such a fantastic walk Maggi - I have never seen anything before :o
There was big groups of Himantoglossum and all was full with the Geranium
Maybe one of our specialists for Orchids will know that Ophrys ...I suppose that some could be hybrids ...
I have seen in the alps real Thalictrum they grows more on wet places ...
Until now no Dictamnus in our driveway ;D

next :
..<snip>...
something unknown ..maybe anybody knows it ?
Hans,
I believe that is an Epipactis sp., maybe helleborine?
-
John ,
thank you - I believe you are right with Epipactis helleborine ...it was a dry place so it could not be E.palustris
Hans
-
Hans, it is simply great, that there are still such floral paradises in
our beautiful country. The Dictamnus are a show!
-
Thank you Rudi ,
yes -we had a nice day there and it was perfect in time :D
Hans

Wow, Hans thats lovely flowers. The countryside looks so picturesque. I think anyone would enjoy a walk through that paradise.
Aren't those Ophrys are so cute 8)
Thanks for taking the time posting all those lovely pictures.
Angie :)
-
Thank you Angie :D
The posting of pictures is easy ....but to find out the plant names is more difficould ;D
It is always the same Problem :
There are no labels in the wild :o
