Mission accomplished

#gentian

Mission today was to locate the 5th Gentian that can be seen in the Sierra Nevada (there are 6 apparently). The mission was successful we managed to find the incredible teeny tiny Gentianella tenella.
Thanks to Mick for pointing us in the right direction of where to find this.
