Minuartia austromontana

This is a very tiny flower, found growing on Plateau Mountain, way south of Calgary, on July 31st. A macro shot is needed to see the details (even though they are rather blurry, ha). Also known as Columbian Stitchwort. This is such a tiny plant with teeny flowers that an average person would never notice it on a walk. Seen through a macro lens, though, their hidden beauty is revealed!
