June 8 - Parry's Wallflower


I found a northern facing meadow in sub-alpine containing parry's wallflower (Parrya nudicaulis ssp. interior).  This delicate, lavender flower was about 7 inches tall (18 cm) growing on a tundra covered slope.  It has a subtle aroma.  The dark green, edible leaves, about 4 inches long (10 cm) grow from the base and have wavy edges.
