Calyptridium umbellatum

Also known as Pussy Paws, this charming wildflower lifts its flowers off the ground when it's hot and lowers them as the sun sets and the temperature cools down. Photo taken above Winnemucca Lake on July 16, 2008.

Weight-lifting daily?

Cool, I never knew they can do it. It is a distant relative of common Claytonia, right?

Re: Weight-lifting daily?

I'm not sure if it's a relative of Claytonia.
