Frigid Shooting Star

This image is of a Frigid Shooting Star, Dodecatheon frigidum). It is most abundant in, wet tundra meadows and alpine slopes from June to mid-July. It gets its name from its unique shape, and blooms to about 10" high with magenta flowers with a white ring. As is common with a number of Alaska wildflowers, there are a few variations to the Shooting star, and it may differ slightly in height based on location and climate.
