Gentiana acaulis

The trumpet or stemless gentian is my favorite gentian for its gorgeous sky-blue flowers rivaled only by the blue Himalayan poppy, Meconopsis grandis, and a couple other Gentiana species. It is my favorite gentian not only for its flowers but also its hardiness and low, spreading growth habit; as well, it is one of the easier gentians to grow.
