Northern Gentian

Northern Gentian
This very dainty wildflower was growing at Big Hill Springs park, just NW of Calgary. Also known as Felwort.

"Felwort has been used as a tonic medicine since the 1st century AD. Some sources report Felwort to be a purgative, while others indicate that it stimulates appetite in people suffering from Anorexia, old age and stomach ailments." From "Plants of Alberta" by France Royer and Richard Dickinson.
