Arctic Colours

Vibrant colours are rare up here in Raglan, other than say the bright yellow Crone receivers, the yellow Crone wire or the orange drill shacks. I found these beauties on a loop laying trip out to Cross Lake, a short helicopter ride from camp. They may be Alpine Phlox, and each flower head is only about a third the size of my pinkie fingernail. They were abundant out in the craggy hills of Cross Lake and certainly a noticeable and appreciated display! It's a shame they were just starting to wilt a little before I found them.
