Photographed these small flowers of the Arctic Willow that were growing close to the ground in the alpine meadow just below the flat plateau top of Plateau Mountain, on July 2nd.

Hope I've identified this female (thanks, Doug!) Willow correctly - I tend to get mixed up with Arctic Willow and Snow Willow.This is a macro shot of just a tiny plant, but aren't the flowers unusual and beautiful? Photographed near the tiny creek that was running down slope at Arethusa Cirque, Kananaskis, on July 30th.
