aka Spring Beauty, Lanceleaf Springbeauty. White flowers 1/4″ – 3/4″ (5 – 15 mm) wide are accentuated with deep pink veins each with five petals and five stamens. Stems are up to 8″ and grow from a deeply buried bulb, or corm – a tiny potato which has been a valuable food source for aboriginal people. Also a favorite of grizzly bears (although not in Rainier!). The stems have two opposite leaves and cup the flower with only two sepals. At higher elevations this beauty may not reveal itself until July. Common in the alpine meadows usually above 5,000′ elevation.
