I am looking for information on a mountain flower found in the Pyrenees mountain range in Spain. This flower has blue petals surrounding a pure white center. They grow in the mountain hills of Bonaigua Pass, Catalonia - I found a picture of them online...but above is all I can find out about them. I am attaching a link to their picture http://www.hickerphoto.com/blue-mountain...
My friends says they may be a type of flowering grass. I think they are beautiful. Thinking of using them as part of a tattoo...if I can find out more about them.
What is this flower? Blue Mountain Flower?
I think they are a species of gentian, which is a large family include all sorts of beautiful flowers.

Reply:The previous answer is right on the ball, I believe. Clicking thru the wikipedia he posted I did a google image search on something that looked like your flower:

Visually, the elements from your photo do match the ones in the search. I'm no botanist, so there maybe something I'm missing, but the petal shape, colors, clustering, and general arrangement of the flower itself seems to be dead on.
