Field Notes

Description:

I missed the flowers, but the fruits left behind are a striking pink color. The basal leaves are glossy and serrated. Growing alongside a green bog orchid

Habitat:

Near boulders and gravel in the upper elevations of Kashevaroff Mountain. This spot gets a lot of water trickling downhill during the snowmelt
