Gentiana acaulis
My seed plants bloom this year generous
-
They do indeed, Franz - I wish they would do so well here.

Roma your angustifolia is very big, she likes your soil.

Yann, I believe all Roma's plants grow well!

Gentiana angustifolia 'Pirin' bought 3 years ago
Gentiana acaulis 'Krumrey' bought 2 years ago. Both are loving my raised beds as can be seen by the new shoots appearing some distance away from the main plants.
-
Very nice Maureen.
-
Maggi: yes, what a talented gardener!
-
I may be partial but these Gentiana are the most beautiful spring flowers!
Only a G. clusii survived with me up till now, so I am in deep admiration towards all who grow them so well :)
-
Gentiana acaulis or Gentiana clusii... I am not sure.
-
From a visual point of view, what exactly ARE the differences between GG. acaulis and clusii. I have mixed seedlings from the late Hans Hoeller and I'm darned if I can see any differences at all within the group. Can someone explain please?
-
Gentiana acaulis
The difference is seen in the sepals.
Gentiana clusii

Thank you Franz for your quick reply and for the photos. I shall print them off and keep them with me as I have no gentians in bloom at present but they will be useful when spring arrives. I suspect all I have will turn out to be G. acaulis. (Not that I'm complaining about that!)

Couple pictures of my Gentianas. The first is G.triflora which flowered for the first time this year, in August.
The second is unknown to me, if anyone can identify it, I would be grateful. It flowered it September, about the same time as also G.asclepiadea was flowering.
The third picture is G.asclepiadea 'Alba'

Wow Leena !
After the looks and flowering time, the second one can be a Gentiana paradoxa hybrid.

This autumn I had a Gentiana flowering in one of my Cephalotus planter. It started as a unidentified weed which I left because I did not know what it might be.
This came by accident and I don't know how this seed came into this place. Never had seeds or plants of a similar species.
Part of this substrate was from a sandpit where I asked for some of the top soil which was on a big heap.
I am not sure but thought it could be something similar to Gentiana pneumonanthe. Does anybody can confirm its identity, or tell me what this might be.
One of the two flowers had set seed which I put in surrounding planters.

Thank you Gabriela! :) I got this plant from a plant swap, it was grown from seeds by a person who belongs to many garden societys (so she could have gotten the seeds from anywhere), and she had lost the label to these seeds.

I think I solved last night the mystery of my Gentiana. I have been in Summer 2015 in Denmark's island Roemoe.
Such Gentiana were in flower there.
No seeds so I did not think of them at later times. But I did collect some small pieces of moss and some feces with a lot of berry seeds from the bogs there.
I must have put some of it into my existing planters. So might at least two of the small Gentiana seeds might have travelled there unnoticed.
The planters where I put most of it have no Gentiana plants growing. Only some of the berries.
This is a picture from my holiday, it seems to be the same Gentiana, though not exactly the beautiful color of my own plant.

... I believe, the summer is over. 😊
