Spring Gentian flowers, rare in the UK but locally abundant on this slope in Harwood, Upper Teesdale. They are also to be seen on the better known Widdybank Fell near Cow Green reservoir, where they grow near a public footpath.
Part of the Teesdale Assemblage, a group of rare species for which Upper Teesdale is famous. #Flora #Bloomscrolling

@Ivor@mstdn.social oh they're lovely. They grew in abundance in a couple of places on Inis Mór, Aran, too; awkward to get to so I didn't see them much but it was exciting to know.

@Ivor@mstdn.social Lovely. I wasn't aware Gentiana verna (I think that's what your picture shows) was native to Great Britain.
