The shrubby cinquefoil (Potentilla fruiticosa) is just starting to bloom. Only found a couple shrubs in bloom on my hike and they were at lower elevations, growing on rocky slopes. This plant is also called the tundra rose. These shrubs can get very bushy and beautiful with all the flowers blooming. The flower petals are about an inch long and very rounded. Leaflets have 5 narrow leaves.
