These small flowers hang their heads, but I tipped this one up using a tiny twig. Macro photo of this flower (and two little visitors) taken in the forest at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), Kananaskis, on 10 July 2012. "This is a low, delicate, evergreen perennial from slender, creeping rhizomes; flowering stems simple; growing 3 - 10 cm tall, sometimes up to 15 cm. Flowers - single, nodding atop long, leafless stalk (with 1 or 2 small bracts); white, waxy, fragrant, 1 - 2.5 cm across; 5 spreading petals; 10 stamens; large, prominent, 5-lobed stigma; appearing in mid-summer." www.borealforest.org/herbs/herb25.htm

Macro photo of this small flower taken at Maclean Pond, off Elbow Falls Trail (Highway 66), Kananaskis, on 10 July 2012. Depending on the weather, I should be away for the whole day today - a return trip to Plateau Mountain, Kananaskis, with a different group of people, the people with whom I botanize..
