Roma your angustifolia is very big, she likes your soil.

Gentiana angustifolia 'Pirin' bought 3 years ago
Gentiana acaulis 'Krumrey' bought 2 years ago.  Both are loving my raised beds as can be seen by the new shoots appearing some distance away from the main plants.

I may be partial but these Gentiana are the most beautiful spring flowers!
Only a G. clusii survived with me up till now, so I am in deep admiration towards all who grow them so well :)

From a visual point of view, what exactly ARE the differences between GG. acaulis and clusii. I have mixed seedlings from the late Hans Hoeller and I'm darned if I can see any differences at all within the group. Can someone explain please?

Thank you Franz for your quick reply and for the photos. I shall print them off and keep them with me as I have no gentians in bloom at present but they will be useful when spring arrives. I suspect all I have will turn out to be G. acaulis. (Not that I'm complaining about that!)

Couple pictures of my Gentianas. The first is G.triflora which flowered for the first time this year, in August.
The second is unknown to me, if anyone can identify it, I would be grateful. It flowered it September, about the same time as also G.asclepiadea was flowering.
The third picture is G.asclepiadea 'Alba'

Wow Leena !
After the looks and flowering time, the second one can be a Gentiana paradoxa hybrid.
