Fall wildflowers - Gentian/Gentiana

The camera can't quite capture the brilliance of fringed and bottle gentian which seem to glow.  Many gentians are difficult to grow outside their wild habitat, so they can be relatively rare.  It is always a good surprise to find them in a new location.

 The are late bloomers. Some of these photos were taken a late as last Saturday. As my last two posts show there is lots of interesting wildlife to see this time of year.
