What is this flower? - Ask Extension
I think this is a gentian, but I'm not sure. Can you identify it for me? We have a small cluster of them growing in our treeline.

Hi,
It looks like a yellow gentian. See this link:

Gentians are hard to distinguish, the differences can be subtle. But the one in the link looks like yours, and the page has links to the other varieties of gentians in Minnesota.
Hope this is a help!
