Grass of Parnassus. Parnassia palustris

A flower of cold beauty and a symbol of 'the wilderness and wetlands'.

Also known as the 'bog star', it isn't actually a grass at all, belonging to an entirely different botanical class.

It isn't a common flower, although possibly many people would miss it as it is so tiny.
