Carlina acaulis
Sharp beige flower with dark "petals", pointed leaves, short stem
Pastures, between rocks, in mountains, on hills, everywhere high, Alps
This is alpine rose. When it's open it means that it's going to be sun, when it's closed it means it's going to rain. This is a good sign for you when you're in the mountains to know what the wheather is going to be like. In Slovenia it is called "bodeca neza".
