Bunchberry (Canadian Dogwood)
I've tried to find out what this flower is but so far unable to determine. Very cool one with 4 white leaves in all 4 directions with 6 green leaves beneath (two large and 4 small). Very geometric. Anyone know what this is?

Edit: Thanks to nartreb for identifying.

Specifically, it's probably canadian dogwood a.k.a. bunchberry. (Cornus Canadensis)

Leaf number can vary - I mostly see them with four equal leaves, but a Google image search on "bunchberry" turns up lots with six equal leaves, and a few with six unequal leaves like these.

check back later in the season for clusters of little red berries
You are right about cool, soil needs to maintain <65F to grow.
