This flowers are really widespread all over Slovenia. You can mostly find them on meadows and pastures. We call them "gumbki" or "bleščeči grintavec".
You are welcome. Now I have learned they grow even in Slovenia and are called "gumbki" I love these blooms and seed pods too. They attract some of my best small butterflies.
