Gentiana asclepiadea L. - Willow gentian

Willow Gentian is a several years lasting plant, heights between 20 and 60 cm, or more. From the rootstalk, more then one stalks appears which are upstanding or slightly inclined. The leaves are numerous, sitting, at the bottom rounded, otherwise halberd shape and tapered to a point. There is no bottom rosette. The flowers are separate, or 2 to 3 together in a leaf axils. The flower calyx and crown are bell-shaped with triangle and pointed top. They are rather large (5,5 cm) of a dark azure colour, sometimes light blue or purple, rarely white. Inside the flowers are red-purple spots and light longitudinal stripes. It blooms from July till September. It grows in the forest on the hills or bottom of the mountains, edges of forests, meadows, and forest meadows, on moisture habitats.
Grows separately or in smaller clods, and their number is decreasing due to changes of ecological conditions and picking.

Hello Dejan,
What a lovely Gentiana very well captured. Beautiful colours and fine details. I've never heard of this beauty before so I'm grateful for your note too! It must be one of the tallest Gentians.
Many thanks and regards, Ulla

Hallo Dejan
A stunning presentation of these purple and blue flowers. The unopened blossoms are an eye-catcher, and because I love this colour it attracted me even more. I like the way you blurred out some of the flowers in the background but still leaving some colour to attract the eye. The little insect in one of the flowers is an extra feature that rounds of this photo well. This is just a very pretty flower, with lovely colours and well framed. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy your day.
Kind regards.
Anna
