In the very high Canadaian arctic I stumbled on these wonderful purple flowers. I think it might be the Arctic Payya but I'm not sure.
High arctic of Canada. Cunningham inlet, just south of the northwest passage.
Very small, almost ground cover, but beautiful colour.

ArgyBee You are correct. Looks like it is an arctic version of Purple Saxifrage.
Nice find. Looks a little bit like the Purple Mountain Saxifrage but it has four petals. Hope someone can sort it for you.
