Koch Gentian

It is fully unusual to see such one at 2000 m. at the end of october. The normal blossom is between May and July. But this year in Europe, there are many vegetal with such biological clock problems. May be the very long sunny drought during the five first months of 2011, followed by a cold July and then again a mild autumn, is the origin of the problem?

 

Fortunatly, it is a resistant pionneer flower which resists some frost and snow fall.
