    a wonderful flower. i had to search for and found this defnition:
    Gentian is associated with faith and confidence, not only to religious faith, but faith in the meaning of life and world views.

      May be you can make a page for this one, because Wildflower didn't notice the identification was already underneath the photo but there is no wiki page. I feel sorry for all her good work. Posted 11 years ago

        Don't worry, I did see there was an identification, but to create the ID, the information has to come from somewhere :) Posted 11 years ago

      Hopefully you didn't search too long for the identification because it was already underneath the photo... But there is no wiki page so that's why the identification isn't on the right at the species. But thanks for your help to identify as many species as possible at Jungle Dragon. Posted 11 years ago

        No, I used your identification to gather some information so that the ID can be created manually. Ferdy created quite a few lately and now he promised to make this procedure easier :)
