Question
I took this picture in the Alpine Garden on Mount Washington, June 20, 2013. I didn't take a picture of the whole plant, only the flower. The AMC field guide has a Geum and a Potentilla with similar yellow flowers.
Answer
Dear jfc, this flower most likely belongs to Geum peckii (White Mountain avens). This species is a near endemic of NH, but is locally common on Mount Washington. Best wishes.
