One-flowered Wintergreen / Moneses uniflora
These small flowers hang their heads, but I tipped this one up using a tiny twig. Macro photo of this flower (and two little visitors) taken in the forest at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), Kananaskis, on 10 July 2012.
"This is a low, delicate, evergreen perennial from slender, creeping rhizomes; flowering stems simple; growing 3 - 10 cm tall, sometimes up to 15 cm.
Flowers - single, nodding atop long, leafless stalk (with 1 or 2 small bracts); white, waxy, fragrant, 1 - 2.5 cm across; 5 spreading petals; 10 stamens; large, prominent, 5-lobed stigma; appearing in mid-summer."
