Dwarf Raspberry / Rubus arcticus


I still remember the first time I came across this plant species growing low down in a tangle of grass and shrubs, wondering what it could be, it was so pretty. This macro shot was taken at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), Kananaskis, on 1 July 2011. The attractive pink flowers of this plant, also known as Arctic Raspberry, are 1-1.5 cm across.
"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."
