The Not Taken Vacation: Mountain Avens

The Mountain Avens, also known as dryas octopetala, is an Arctic alpine plant that’s in the family rosacea. It is a small flower which grows at higher elevations. It is found in the Arctic tundra of northern Eurasia, North America, and, of course, in Iceland where it is the national flower. Areas with high altitudes, such as the Rocky Mountains or the Alps and other high mountain regions, also are home to this lovely little flower.

  1. Thanks, Anne. Glad you like images. Ended up in ER for a new and superior splint to one I had originally. Plan to complain before next appointment,

  2. I hate that today we have to be our own advocate for our health care. Complain on! Glad you’re taking care of it and hope that the new splint will hurry the healing process.
