Common Bearberry / Arctostaphylos uva-ursi

Also known as Kinnikinnick and Pinemat manzanita. Photographed these tiny flowers yesterday in North Weaselhead. I was with friends, so was in a bit of a rush - should have tried to find a little cluster in better condition, though there were very few of these flowers to be seen there.
"Bearberry is a woody groundcover shrub 5-30 cm high. The leaves are evergreen, remaining green for 1–3 years before falling. The fruit is a red berry. The leaves are shiny, small, and feel thick and stiff. They are alternately arranged on the stems. Undersides of leaves are lighter green than on the tops. New stems can be red if the plant is in full sun, but are green in shadier areas. Older growth stems are brown. In spring, they have white or pink flowers." Wikipedia.
