Title: Gentiana paradoxa
Post by: hadacekf on August 02, 2011, 06:13:12 PM

I received seeds of this species through the  seed exchange, and it has flowered this year. It is really Gentian paradoxa? I would be very grateful for your help.

The foliage is too "heavy" isn't it? I expect G. paradoxa to have very thin, narrow, delicate foliage.
