Dwarf Raspberry / Rubus arcticus

Dwarf Raspberry / Rubus arcticus
The attractive pink flowers of this plant, also known as Arctic Raspberry, are 1-1.5 cm across. I only remember seeing it in a couple of places, one being at a bog and the plant in this photo being seen at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail, Kananaskis, on June 21st.

"This is a species of slow-growing bramble belonging to the rose family. Its dark red fruit is considered a delicacy. Many consider it to be one of the tastiest fruits in the world: for instance in Russian its name is the "berry of kings" (княженика). It grows in northern Sweden, Norway, Finland, Russia (Siberia), in few locations in Estonia, Lithuania and in parts of North America."
