[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is a Gentian Flower from Gentianaceae Family. But it is difficult for me to identify its genus and species name.

It grows moist high places in meadows among Abies and Pinus wilds. Its high is about 60 cm and length of leaf about 7-10 cm. Its flowers are blue - white marked with lines, as you see.

Hi komsi Fevzi!
It seems our countries have very similar wild flora. This gentian is very popular in our mountains too. They call it Tintyava. I've heard that it is an apetizing herb (very bitter - I've tried it!). In some countries they pit it in some bitter liqueors.
I think this is Marsh gentian - Gentiana pneumonanthe.
Tesekkurler!
Anton
