Fringed grass of Parnassus- Parnassia fimbriata

            Parnassia fimbriata is native to western North America from Alaska and northwestern Canada to the southern Rocky Mountains, where it is a plant of alpine and subalpine environments. The single flower has five veined, fringed white petals each roughly a centimeter long. At the center of the flower are five stamens and five staminodes (the yellow structures) with edges of many narrow, round-tipped lobes. A staminode is an often rudimentary, sterile or abortive stamen, which does not produce pollen. Apart from the fringed petals I found the shape of the yellow staminodes particularly attractive in this flower.
