Thanks Dan! You're right. I need to take a step back and photograph the bigger picture more often. I have a spotting for Shrubby Cinquefoil and can tell you that this spotting was quite different. There were 2-3 per blooms per stem. This was certainly not a shrub, but individual stems did grow close to one another.

Great pics Courtney. Not sure of the species. It's great to have decent pics of the blooms but photos of the overall plant will also help with ID.
