gentians
Bitter root flowers
Gentians are flowering plants known for their intensely blue, trumpet-shaped blossoms, though some species bloom yellow, white, or purple.
They grow wild in alpine meadows and mountainous regions worldwide.
The roots of certain species are used to make bitters for cocktails and digestive liqueurs: The amaro gets its bite from gentian root.
