Twelvemile Summit & Eagle Summit (Part 1) (June 19th)

 

Silene acaulis (moss campion, or cushion pink).

 ビランジとかの仲間だけど、苔のよう形態が独特な植物。

We went to Twelvemile Summit and Eagle Summit to see wildflowers and midnight sun.

I took so many pictures and I have just finished sorting out and labeling them.

Here is the first bunch of pictures.

We found some flowers which we didn't notice last summer.
