Monument Plant (Green Gentian)


Monument plants are distributed widely across the Continental United States.  Given that, you might think they would shun higher elevations.  On a mountain drive the other day, however, I found many dozens of them growing in solitary fashion at elevations above 7000 feet.  Some of the plants were two feet tall and in full bloom.
Posted are two photographs I captured of the flowers.
