Hans, thank you for posting such beautiful Gentiana close ups - I love the variation in the throat of the trumpet and the simplicity of the crisp white shape  :)

My Gentiana are grown from seed and have no names, all are clusii. Only the pics 2 and 3 show angustifolia 'Iceberg', but there are some differences.

All lovely but the sky blue/green/white combination is especially beautiful. I have some similar plants, grown originally as G. angustifolia alba. Only one of about 30 was truly white, the others all with this lovely combination of colours to a greater or lesser degree. I love every one.

Can anyone help me with an id for this Gentiana - I had been growing it as G.cruciata- but now it is flowering it looks nothing like our native G.cruciata.
Thanks, Simon.
