June 8 - Moss Campion

The moss campion (Silene accaulis) is just starting to bloom along the rocky, alpine ridges.  I found many of these cushion-like mossy mats, but few with flowers blooming.  The leaves are short and flat.  The light pink flowers have five petals with ten stamens and are very aromatic.
