I don't get to see this plant, Purple Avens (also called Water Avens), all that often, but I find it a fascinating flower. This native wildflower grows in marshes and wet meadows and is a member of the Rose family. This one was growing last July at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), west of Calgary.
