So I'm handing over to Gail today, as ever since she returned from Slovenia earlier this week, she's been going on and on (and on) about all the beautiful wildflowers and pristine mountain streams.
Gail here: I'll let the photos do most of the talking for this Nature Friday post. Wildflower ID was aided in some cases by the wonderful PlantNet app.

Like wow. Europe (and I count UK in that) is so colourful in the wild. NZ is green. Green is good but just green with a rare splash of red rata or white clematis is boring by comparison with the wildflowers you captured in Slovenia. Beautiful place.

What a bonanza indeed! What a beautiful country - perhaps next time Gail will take you, too, Nobby? I'm sure you would enjoy the scenery just as much as we do!

Wow! So many beautiful wildflowers and the Rampion is sure unusual looking and the waterfalls are just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely. The water looks wonderful and the wild flowers are a gift.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful waterfalls. Mom never saw many waterfalls the ten years she lived in Europe, or when she has traveled there. Pretty flowers too, kind of the same color scheme that Bailie has posted today. Happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteAmen to Yam's OUTSTANDING! the flowers are amazing.. and that water fall is stunning as are all the photos of the stream... I found out today there are volcanos and lava in USA New Mexico and now how gorgeous it is in Slovenia... wow
ReplyDeleteThose are all such beautiful flowers. We love that first one with the tiny purple dots on the petals. The water falls were beautiful too!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely field of yellow flowers at the beginning.
ReplyDeleteSome of the flower names gave us the giggles this morning. So pretty with names that did n't match. The water falls are breathtaking...I can almost taste the beautiful crystal waters.
Hugs cecilia

Beautiful photos! I love the familiar names of the various plants—evocative of their features.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like an enchanted place
ReplyDeleteWhat splendid photos, Gail. Beautiful water with the deep blue and green colors and so clear.
ReplyDeleteThose flowers are stunning. It looks like a wonderful place to bike and rest. Nobby, thank you for letting Gail share these with us. Lee and Phod
ReplyDeleteSo beautiful!! Thanks for capturing it all for us to enjoy, too, Gail!!
