Between May and July one can spot the rare plant blooming next to or in the middle of scree slopes such as the Haindlkar. Part of the flowers allure comes from its intense fragrance of honey. As it is scarcely seen these days, protecting this endemic plant is one of our main goals. <\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n    <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/Federnelke_Hollinger.jpg\" alt=\"Feathered_John_Hollinger\" class=\"image-text__image image-text__column\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_5fd23fefe161a' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--downloads lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"downloads\">\n    <div class=\"downloads__title-container\">\n        <h2 class=\"downloads__title uppercase\">FURTHER INFORMATIONS<\/h2>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"downloads__files\">\n                    <style style=\"display: none\">.download{display:-webkit-box;display:-ms-flexbox;display:flex;-webkit-box-pack:justify;-ms-flex-pack:justify;justify-content:space-between;-webkit-box-align:center;-ms-flex-align:center;align-items:center;-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;box-sizing:border-box;padding:1em;border-radius:3px}.download__info{-ms-flex-wrap:nowrap;flex-wrap:nowrap}.download__info>*{display:inline-block}.download__title{font-size:1.1875rem;line-height:1em}.lightpress__body .download__filesize{margin-right:1em;font-size:.875rem;line-height:1em;opacity:.66}.download__link{color:var(--color-dark, black)}<\/style>\n\n<div class=\"download bg-light\">\n    <p class=\"download__title color-text-grey\">FB 02 Flagship species - english<\/p>\n    <div class=\"download__info\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalpark-gesaeuse.at\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/FB02 Flaggschiffarten.pdf\" class=\"download__link\" download>\n            <i class=\"fal fa-download fa-lg\"><\/i>\n        <\/a>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>            <\/div>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<section id='lightpress__section--block_5fa52b0727537' class='lightpress__section lightpress__section--image-text lightpress__section--full_width lightpress__section--'><div class=\"image-text\">\n    <div class=\"image-text__content image-text__column\">\n        <p class=\"image-text__subtitle\">in love with lady\u00b4s slippers<\/p>\n        <h3 class=\"image-text__title uppercase color-text-darker\">Lady\u00b4s slippers<\/h3>\n        <div class=\"image-text__text wysiwyg color-text-grey\">\n            <p>Orchids are valuable treasures of the Ges\u00e4use National Park\u2019s flora. One particularly impressive species is the yellow lady's slipper<em>Cypripedium calceolus<\/em>, a flower known for its special way of pollination. It emits a honeyed smell and convinces insects that it offers an abundant supply of nectar. Attracted by the smell, they land on the flowers lip and, as its surface is slippery, slip to the bottom of the pouch.  Realizing there is no nectar at all, the insects are forced into leaving trough a narrow, hairy passage.  On their way out, the flowers pollen stick to the escaping insects or already existing pollen is striped of at the stigma (the female part of the flower), fertilizing the plant.

The last larger populations of the German tamarisk in Austria are along the river Lech in Tyrol and the river Kalser in East Tyrol.
