Fringed Gentian

http://smilingsally.blogspot.com/



Mid to late September is the time for fringed gentians in New England. The blue with a hint of blue-purple is beyond my description. Click to enlarge and enjoy. However, no monitor can catch the true color you see with your own eyes.

    It is so lovely to see such a vibrant blue flower among the reds and yellows and oranges of fall. Thanks for sharing this with us. I hope you are having a wonderful Blue Monday.

    I just love BLUE flowers, perhaps because they're so rare. You've brought a pretty BLUE to show us today. Happy Blue Monday.

    Those are SO lovely. I think they are even prettier than the lupines I saw blooming years ago in New England. Love that shade of blue. Thank you for sharing...

    Happy Blue Monday!
