Bosnia – R. Srpska 2006 Flora – Plants full set MNH**

In 2006, the flora of Republika Srpska in Bosnia and Herzegovina would have included various mountain flowers, contributing to the region’s biodiversity and natural beauty. While I don’t have specific data for that year, I can mention some common mountain flowers that are likely to be found in the region based on its ecological characteristics:

1. Edelweiss (Leontopodium alpinum): This iconic mountain flower is often associated with alpine regions and is known for its striking white blooms. It typically grows in rocky, high-altitude areas and is prized for its beauty.
2. Mountain Avens (Dryas octopetala): Another characteristic mountain flower, mountain avens, is known for its low-growing habit and golden-yellow blooms. It thrives in alpine and subalpine environments, often carpeting rocky slopes and meadows.
3. Alpine Aster (Aster alpinus): Alpine asters are charming, daisy-like flowers that adorn mountain meadows with their purple, pink, or white blossoms. They are well adapted to harsh mountain conditions and can be found at various elevations.
4. Gentians (Gentiana spp.): Gentians are diverse and widespread in mountainous regions, with species ranging from low-growing alpine types to taller varieties. They are known for their intense blue or purple flowers and often grow in meadows and along rocky slopes.
5. Pasqueflower (Pulsatilla spp.): Pasqueflowers are early bloomers in mountainous areas, with delicate, bell-shaped flowers that range in color from purple to white. They prefer well-drained soils and can be found in rocky or grassy habitats.
6. Saxifrages (Saxifraga spp.): Saxifrages are a diverse group of plants that thrive in mountainous environments, with species adapted to various habitats, including rock crevices, cliffs, and alpine meadows. They produce clusters of colorful flowers and often have rosettes of basal leaves.
7. Alpine Poppy (Papaver alpinum): Alpine poppies are characterized by their bright yellow or orange flowers and are commonly found in rocky, well-drained soils at higher elevations. They add a splash of color to mountain slopes and meadows.
