June 8 - Purple Cress


I found two different colors of purple cress (Cardamine purpurea) in the high alpine meadows.  This tiny flower is part of the mustard family.  It is only a couple inches tall with a cluster of tiny, four-petaled flowers at the top.  The leaves are surprisingly tasty and really good added to a salad.
