@beckers1974 Have had these for years, growing away under my huge Sambucus nigra, but didn't know what they were called. Got them from my dad, when he was dividing his, many years ago. Had to look up to see what they were called. I prefer the common name "Willow Gentian" to the Latin name 😀
Very pretty! I've only discovered the names of a couple of flowers in my parents' garden this year! We always referred to them by their colours or positions! 😂

Lovely markings on their throats!
