• Question

  Once again, no camera I travel this trail weekly dildn't expect a lesson. 4-5 inch flower stalks sometimes without visible leaves because they spring from an western facing rock face along the trail,,,the leaves are ?dentate? aboaut 4 at the base of the stem when visible,,,the flowers are 5-petalled off -white and perhaps pinkish towards the base ,sinble. . In bloom now. Multiple flower stalks, blooms perhaps 5 cm across if that much so you could go by them and not realize you see something.

  Answer

  Dear Sziabrowska, consider Micranthes virginiensis (synonym: Saxifraga virginiensis). This is a native saxifrage that flowers in the spring and is found on cliffs and rock faces. My email is ahaines@nativeplanttrust.org so we can discuss if this is not correct. Best wishes.
