Autumn Alpine Tundra:Alpine Spring Beauty | [ Sizes: Orig | Large | Med | Small | Thumb ] | |||
This lovely alpine tundra plant bears a white flower and green, leathery leaves in the summer. The first cool breaths of autumn change the leaves to a firely crimson. Commonly called the "Alpine Spring Beauty," scientific name: Claytonia megarhiza. This is a high-alpine succulent perenial. Special thanks to SP member bradsolon and his wife for helping me ID this lovely plant Comments |
