Anemone parviflora

Denali National Park, Alaska

Sure they’re not a species of Parnassia? The stamen/pistil arrangements as well as distinct petal veining are not that Anenome-like pretty as they may be.

So, I didn’t get a good shot of the leaves, but they’re either A. parviflora or Parnassia palustris. Based on where I was in the park, could go either way, but thought Parnassia was more of a roadside wildflower vs. a proper alpine.

I’ll have to check the rest of my photos to see if I can sort this out!

Tbh I always imagined Parnassia as more of a swamp plant, but that’s just cause I had heard of Parnassia palustris before any other member of the genus lol. Fingers crossed that you have some foliage shots!
