Oštrc - flora & fauna

And finally, here's the sequel of Oštrc post from a few days ago. As already mentioned in it, Oštrc massif is characterized by a diversity of flora. And where's flora, there's fauna, especially little flying one. :-)
So, some flower and butterfly pics follow (species that can be found during June/July).  Strangely, I can tell apart butterflies. On the other hand, I have a little problem with plants: therefore some flowers have names and some don't. After all, I'm an archaeologist, not a botanist. :-)
Anyway, the point is in photos and beauty of flowerets, not in their names, right? So enjoy wonderful colors and shapes of field/forest flowers and who cares what they're called. :-)
