Alpine Gentian

Alpine Gentian were still in flower near the lake at Stellisee at around 2,500 metres above sea level. Having photographed Gentian over many years, I have not yet obtained an accurate colour match of the amazing blue of Gentian. Several different species were seen and after some investigation, we think this is Alpine Gentian. Source: The Wild Flowers of Britain and Northern Europe (1974) Fitter, Fitter and Blamey.
