BBOWT Warburg, Bix Bottom.

 Carrying on from the previous report from Bald Hill by Peter Law. Two Gentians are now showing

at Warburg Reserve. The Autumn Gentian and the much rarer 

Chiltern Gentian (The County flower of Buckinghamshire). 

Fortunately they presently grow at opposite ends of a large meadow as they can hybridize. 

At the moment we only have two Chiltern Gentians but this will grow over the next weeks.

There is an excellent piece on the BBOWT site on how to tell the difference between these two
