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.
