[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Gentiana crinita (sometimes called "Fringed Gentian" or "Blue Gentian") is a biennial herbaceous species. Fringed gentian flowers open on sunny days, but generally remain closed on cloudy days. Individual plants live for only one or two years.
In late September to early November, solitary, iridescent blue flowers develop on naked peduncles approximately 2 to 10 cm in height. Each finely fringed petal is 3.5 to 6 cm in length. The outermost flower parts are two pairs of green sepals, strongly winged and flared on the basal margins, the outer pair much larger than the inner.

Beautifull and delicate flowers with so nice blue colour.Good photo.Best regards.Alin.

Bonjour Carl Adam,
L'angle de prise de vue n'est pas très bon pour pouvoir apprécier la finesse des détails, mais les sujets sont relativement bien présentés dans leur environnement.
A bientôt sur TN pour de nouvelles aventures.
Gérard
