Gentiana clausa
Growing in wet areas, e.g. ditches and meadows in rich soils. A "special use" plant for bumblebees. No white spot at the tip of the bloom (vs G. andrewsii with white tip).
Native Plant of the Month
Seedling
Very tiny, very easy to miss germination. Wait until much larger to pot up. Note more elongated first true leaf (insert not to scale).
