    Help request - identifying wild flowers

    I took this shot while traveling in central Bhutan around 6 years ago and just stumbled across it recently.

    I have no idea as to what this might be and would appreciate any help here, as I can't seem to figure out what this is. My initial thought was the blue poppy, which is Bhutan's national flower, but the petals and centre of the flower do not look like a poppy. Our guide did not know the latin or English name, so was not particularly useful..

    Looks a bit like a variety of Gentiana (Gentianaceae). The flower is similar to some but the leaf is not very typical.

    Thanks Paul - I got a similar answer from someone else, so the trend is that it is a variety of Gentian.
