I received seeds supposed to be Gentiana przewalskii.
The result look like Hans's Primula  ???
If someone confirm, I could harvest seeds for the exchange.

Flowering now at 2930m altitude on Mount Musala- my first time seeing this plant in real life. Sadly too early for open flowers  :(

Two Gentiana species,both raised from seeds. G.calycosa is from wild seeds collected in Northwest America
 where it grows in boggy places.
This G. paradoxa is not the true species,but a hybrid which grows and flowers quite easy in a cool place.

Cohan, it was quite hard to see the plants with the flowers closed- but at ground level you realise there is a big population up there!
Also flowering now in the Rila mountains:
Gentiana punctata
Gentianella bulgarica

Lovely Gentiana Simon, even in bud, and I think the colour of Gentianella bulgarica is very attractive

Robin,

yes, they are flowering behind my house in the nature.

An interesting form of Gentiana pannonoca

No, it is growing a little higher at the mountain behind my house. You cannot cultivate G. pannonica in so low locations (under 700m).
The best plants grow at 1500m.

Not sure about G.pannonica, Robin, but we've seen G.purpurea in your neck of the woods.
Flowering now in the rock garden, some F2 from Gentiana x paradoxa- not sure how much paradoxa is left in there though.  ???
