I was surprised to find a small meadow full of large-flowered wintergreen (
Pyrola grandiflora) on the lower tundra covered slopes of Antler Creek Ridge, only because I've done this hike so many times and have never seen it here before. I didn't get a picture of the leaves, but they are very thick, round and glossy clustered at the base of the plant. Flowers have long, yellow anthers. The plant is about 6 inches (15 cm) tall.
