Moss Gentian

This is such a difficult flower to photograph, as it is so tiny! The whole plant was maybe just over an inch tall. I was really hoping to see one of these flowers after photographing one on a previous visit - this was the only one I noticed. A miracle that I noticed it in the first place - and that was only because friend Doug had called to me to come and look at a few little cup fungi that he had found. The fungi were growing on the embankment at the side of the long gravel road that you have to walk up, to get to the alpine meadows of Plateau Mountain. About six inches from the fungi, the solitary, tiny splash of blue caught my eye. Taken on July 17th.
