If you will be sufficiently lucky, you will find _P. balcanica subsp.
pontica_, a blue-flowered butterwort growing in wet places (alpine
meadows, wet rock surfaces) mostly above the timberline in the
mountains, on limestone, serpentinic rock, etc. You should keep an
eye open for the white- flowered _P. alpina_ (it can be distinguished
from white forms of _P. balc. pont._ by a yellow spot in the corolla
tube and by a shorter spur), which grows in similar situations but
has so far not been recorded for the Caucasus range.

Kind regards
Jan
