Prairie Gentian

I tried HARD to get a decent photo of several of these beautiful Prairie Gentian plants this afternoon, but I just didn't succeed!! Couldn't avoid a messy background and the sun was shining brightly on them. Didn't work taking them in shadow, either : ( It is so unusual to come across these wildflowers and they are such a gorgeous shade of blue, that of course I hoped for a decent shot, even just ONE, LOL. However, I will enjoy that amazing colour.
