Question
A Gentian...is it Andrew's bottle gentian? Gentiana andrewsii. Additional close up photos available
Answer
Dear tanner1919, you certainly are in the right group of gentians. However, I'm not able to identify this species without some details of the corolla lobes and appendages between the lobes (best viewed by opening the flower slightly and taking photographs of the spread out parts--this can be done without damaging the flower). If you are able to take such images and send them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org, I can try to help you further. Also, I would need the general location of the plants (e.g., eastern MA, southern CT). Best wishes.
