Unmistakable BLUE
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
The unmistakable blue colour of "Gentiana Verna", latin name of this small, but loud, alpine flower.
Photo taken on the path leading to Mount Pramaggiore, from Claut, Pordenone Province, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, on 9th June 2007.
(from wikipedia): According to Pliny the Elder, Gentian is an eponym of Gentius (180-168 BC), the King of Illyria, said to have discovered its healing properties. Some species are of medicinal use and their roots were harvested for the manufacture of tonic liquor, for instance in France "Suze" or similar liquors. Gentian is also used as a flavouring, for example in bitters, and the soft drink "Moxie" which contains "Gentian Root Extractives". |
