Hi Rockoyster
Grey day here in UK – nothing on my agenda, nowhere to be etc., so decided it was time I got all my reference books out and tried to put some more familiar-sounding names to your flower photos! Mixed results ensued – some I already knew, a few I thought I did but didn’t match your German label – some very elusive! I have a rather handsome book I bought myself in Germany one time which is not just flowers, but all nature stuff – more of that later – an alpine flower book I bought in Alpine Garden on Schynige Platte and an English Alpine book which I got in a second-hand book shop and cost a lot as it was out of print so hard to come by! I also resorted to using trusty German Dictionary when I couldn’t find any other reference!
So here goes with what I think (not know!!!).
Gewöhnlicher_Wundklee-1 pretty sure about this one! Latin name – Anthyllis vulneraria – pea family – common kidney vetch. (Gewöhnlicher_ means common)
Gebräuchlicher_Arznei-Baldrian-1 this one proved tricky – couldn’t find in any of the flower books so used dictionary to translate into English and it came out as common (or usual) medicinal valerian.
Gewöhnliches_Sonnenröschen-1 – knew this one – helianthemum nummelarium which is a rock-rose.
Schwalbenwurz-Enzian-1 knew this as well– it’s usually called trumpet gentian – but interestingly Schwalben means swallow and wurz means root – Enzian is gentian.
Quirlblättriges_Läusekraut-1. Latin name – pedicularis verticillata – whorled lousewort.
Gewöhnlicher_Hornklee-1. – knew this one as well! Latin name – Lotus corniculatus – common bird’s foot trefoil (often known as bacon ‘n eggs because often has red tips to it.)
Bachbungen-Ehrenpreis-1. Latin name – veronica baccabunga or chemaedrys. recognised this as a speedwell.
Rote_Waldnelke-1 – bit of a problem here as I was sure it was a primula or primrose but name you have put to it means a red forest carnation/clove – leaves are wrong for dianthus / carnation family!
Pretty sure the yellow unnamed is also a primrose and the blue unknown is a Bavarian gentian as a field gentian has 4 petals not five. the little yellow one in that photo is also a common kidney vetch like your first picture.
Hope all this doesn’t confuse rather than help!
That rather splendid nature book I mentioned earlier also threw light for me on a bird I had been following about near our apartment and eventually managed to get pictures of – see attached – and it was called a Hausrotschwanz – phoenicurus ochrurus or put simply a house red-tail! Apparently common around villages! As I had been referring to it as a red-tailed bird I was closer than I knew!
Best wishes
