Alpi Giulie e Tarvisiano View gallery (8 photos)

A pearl of the Friuli sent on August 10, 2016 (23:56) by Ilmore52. 6 comments, 492 views.

at 70mm, 1/60 f/11.0, ISO 200, hand held. Tarvisiano, Italy.

Campanula di Zoys (Campanula zoysii Wulfen). Si tratta di un relitto del terziario sopravvissuto alle glaciazioni. La particolare forma della corolla, chiusa all'apice o con apertura minima, fa sì che gli insetti, per l'impollinazione, debbano rompere i fiori ragion per cui, questi ultimi si presentano molto spesso forati alla base della corolla. Il nome della specie deriva da Karl von Zoys, botanico austriaco ed esploratore delle Alpi Giulie e Carniche della Slovenia. Cresce in fessure e rupi calcaree anche strapiombanti, ghiaioni e detriti sempre su substrato calcareo da 1400 a 2200 metri. Scende eccezionalmente, in forre ombrose a microclima particolarmente freddo, sino a 900 metri. Si tratta di una pianta endemica ad areale ristretto che interessa Alpi e Prealpi Giulie spingendosi verso occidente sino a lambire le Alpi Carniche (Monte Amariana). In Italia è presente soltanto in Friuli. L'areale si estende alle zone contigue della Slovenia e dell'Austria (Alpi Kamniško-Savinjske, catena delle Karavanke e in un limitato settore della foresta Trnovski gozd.). Nel complesso una pianta assai rara!

A tribute to nature's capacity to be able to create more beautiful things even in inaccessible areas.

Even behind the tough rind is a beating heart and a soul that shows a tender sensibility.
The tenacity and perseverance can make inroads even in the most impenetrable obstacles.
One picture, two images.

“ One picture, two images. „

Thank you very much Richard for this unmerited recognition.
And 'Mother Nature the most amazing thing: create impenetrable flowers and at the same time teaches the ants that you have to make a small hole on the corolla so that this species can flourish and spread.
Happy August!
