Meet the gentian
Gentian, or Rindou in Japanese, grows quietly in the mountains and grasslands of autumn, its trumpet-shaped blue-purple flowers closing at night and reopening with the morning sun. It's one of the classic flowers associated with the season in Japanese culture. Its cool, dignified color makes for an elegant coloring subject.
