Somewhat to my surprise, when we were in the Pyrenees in July 2021, we only saw one gentian plant. It was this one in the photo, a dwarf gentian Gentianella sp. This is in contrast to the dozens of gentian species and hundreds of gentian plants we saw in Switzerland in July 2018.
I think this one must be Field Gentian Gentianella campestris (Fr. Gentiane des champs).

IIRC, I saw yellow and blue gentians in the mountains in the Cantal département.
chm: yes I imagine your memory is correct.
That was almost eighty years ago, when I was in the maquis and the FFI.
chm: Let's hope that there are some young Ukrainians out there who will remember the wild flowers they saw in 2022 in 80 years.
