More arctic wildflowers... a remarkable burst of colour against such a bleak and barren backdrop.

Re: nice closeup

Poppies will put them to sleep. This is the Arctic Poppy (Papaver nudicaule), and the purple flower in the background looks like it could be either a saxifrage or dwarf fireweed (Chamerion latifolium).
