Seen growing at Bowmont Park (north area). "This species produces two types of flower. Large showy flowers (as in my photo) that appear early in the season are often sterile. The majority of the nutlets are produced by small, inconspicuous flowers that appear late in the summer." From Plants of Alberta by France Royer and Richard Dixkinson.
