Rick Tucker visited Waterton National Park in June and shared some photos of Cryptantha nubigena with us:

and finally

Cryptantha nubigena (clustered oreocarya)

This variety is rare in BC and is more commonly seen in the Sierra Nevada.   We hope to spot it one day too!

Thanks to Rick for his permission to share his photos.
