I could part with one of my plants. It's been in the ground for 3 years now and is definitely blooming sized. See pic below. This was taken a couple of years ago.

Here's the story: I raised these from seed received in a trade. They were labeled as Gentiana andrewsii, but when they bloomed I did a lot of research (including dissecting some flowers) and came to the conclusion they are most likely Gentiana clausa based on the following statement from the Peterson Field Guide on Wildflowers:
Gentiana andrewsii
"The deep blue petals stay closed, joined by and slightly exceeded by a fringed whitish membrane. A very similar species G. clausa, has the petal tips free of the joining membrane."
I'm looking for other Gentiana only.
