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.
