These are Fringed Genians, photographed near Snowmass Lake in the Colorado Rockies.

This Fringed Gentian was photographed in the Fountain Paint Pots area of Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is famous for its thermal features but has an abundance of beautiful wildflowers as well.

One of my favorite wildflowers, the Fringed Gentian, grows in many of the geyser basins in Yellowstone National Park. This example was photographed in the Black Sands Basin.

When we visited Yellowstone National Park this past summer the Gentians were finished but we have seen them on many other trips. These were photographed in the area of the Fountain Paint Pots growing in a boggy area with sedges. The Western or Small Fringed Gentian, Genianopsis detonsa is the official flower of the park and one of the most beautiful wildflowers in the park.
