Fringed Grass-of-Parnassus
From what I remember, we saw maybe two of these small Fringed Grass-of-Parnassus flowers (Parnassia fimbriata) on our hike to Picklejar Lakes in Kananaskis yesterday. Think I've only ever seen them on three or four occcasions before. You have to be right down near the flower in order to see that it's the fringed species.
Flowers are 15-22 mm across. The 5 petals have 5-7 veins and are 8-12 mm long. Stems are usually 10-30 cm tall. Grows on streambanks and moist, open areas. The species name "fimbriata" means "fringed", referring to the petals.
