'The Gentianella' by James Montgomery

"Blue thou art, intensely blue;
Flower, whence came thy dazzling hue?"

Gentian, Gentiana, Enzian, Encijan, however you spell it, is, to many, the most beautiful of all blue flowers. They are synonymous with the mountain world.
Herewith is a collection of the best Gentian photos on summitpost. Enjoy!
(Oh, and thanks to the photographers for capturing these exquisite images! And thanks, too, for adding your own images.)
