Anne Elliott's photos with the keyword: White Dryad

This pretty wildflower was growing up in the mountains at Ptarmigan Cirque two days ago. A member of the Rose family, it grows on alpine slopes June-July. The white flower is 2-4 cm across, has 8-10 hairy sepals, 8 petals, and numerous stamens and pistils. Love to see it growing against the rocks like this.

Photographed in the alpine meadow on Plateau Mountain, on July 17th. Some species of Checkerspot butterfly. It posed so nicely (but briefly) on a small White Mountain-avens/White Dryad flower.
