Hi, appreciate you noticed the variety of endemic plants. Of course other mountains have their endemics but for the Dinaric alps Orjen is the hotspot. Pinus heldreichii is a hard pine and a rare tree. It's distribution is localised to some mountains of Greece, Albania, Montenegro and Italy. Serbian spruce is missing and couldn't probably dwell because of summer draught. You find serbian spruce only in the interior mountains were summer rain is constant.
All mediterranean mountains are hotspots of biodiversity. Those particularly interested in flora and fauna can enjoy in the exploration and discovery ot the rich flora of mountains like Velebit, Biokovo and Orjen; the three main mountain nodes at the adriatic coast. Every of the three groups has its own unique features Some rare endemic species and a lot valuable plants, that offer digestive, aromatic and/or drug uses are commonlyf ound. Moreover many have a special aesthetic value and can be found exclusively on one of the mentioned mountains. Examples are found in the genera Iris, Paeonia, Tulipa, Crocus, Muscari, Primula, Lilium, Gentiana, Orchis, Ophrys, Degenia, Fritillaria and many more.
You seem to dwell on quite a bit of botany here. For example you have shown some endemic plants, trout lillies, Acer heldreichii , Pinus heldreichii (is this a hard pine or a white pine?) . I was surprised that there are no Serbian Spruce.
