Lovely!
Thank you, Mia. I was pleased to find this in the forest just a few feet off from my daughter’s driveway.
I have just found a patch of Gentian on Ga. power lot. How common is it?
It’s not particularly rare, Brett, but I don’t think it would be considered among the “common wildflowers” of Georgia.
Thanks
Would it be possible for someone to post pictures of young Pale Gentians? I had two larger plants until our landscaper weed-whacked them. 🙁 One has returned this year but the other didn’t. However, in the first year I found them, I harvested seeds and put some in the ground just hoping… I seem to have several young plants starting and would be so thrilled!
Sorry, I looked in my catalog and don’t find any.
