Looks like Alpine Springbeauty "Claytonia megarhiza" upon searching the internet it appears that the leaves can lean toward purple. Maybe it has to do with the unforgiving sun at that altitude. What mountain were you on?
Great picture! This is one of my favorite flowers. I am a professional gardener and I love to add it to bring the hummers into a garden.
On Crocosmia on less!! What a beautiful moment you have captured.
Thanks! We have been on project Noah for awhile, but for some reason our spottings disappeared in the up-grade.
