Lilium carniolicum, Giglio della Carniola
11-June-2022, Nanos.
The name of this flower indicates a well-defined area of today's Slovenia, an area that I have monitored very much climatologically even before botanically.
It is the area that I call the Internal Karst Region (since it mainly rests on the same plateau as the traditional Karst/Kras/Carso, the Coastal one, and with the same superficial and deep karstism phenomena), mainly corresponding to the Notranjska Slovenian region, which in its turn is on the Black Sea catchment watershed side of the S/W Slovenian Dinaric area.
In reality, Lilium carniolicum blooms above all on the coastal side of the Karst-Dinaric watershed range, Adriatic catchment (Primorska), preferring the upper part (800-1200m) of the southern slopes moors with good insolation and porous soil.
In such areas it is found in isolation but with a certain frequency; 2 or 3 flowers sprout from each plant in June, sometimes until the beginning of July.
