On sunny and relatively non-windy days, I try and get as close as possible to some of the plants I see in various natural areas.
Bottle Gentian (you can see why it is called this) grows on moist ground, meadows, shores, thickets, ditches, river banks, floodplains and swamps.

These closeup shots are wonderful. We often don’t take time to look closely enough to appreciate the real beauty nature offers.. Thanks for these Miles.
