perhaps subsp. depressa, species complex needs work

species complex needs work, perhaps some hybridization with C. rubra at this location - also present in adjacent scree is C. umbellata

snow this morning covered up flowering plants, many past flowering but also many with buds still on them at this time

no flowering individuals at this location, but flowering at higher elevations (see other obsies)

mostly in bud at this time

subspecies/ species complex need work

growing with C. exigua, C. saxosa, and C. rubra (shown in other obsies)

shown growing sympatric with C. exigua (on left), and C. serpenticola + C. rubra (not pictured, see other obsies)

last image shows sympatry with C. saxosa (on right), not pictured but present at same site are C. rubra, C. serpenticola, and C. saxosa; see other obsies)

probably intermontana, but Claytonia perfoliata species complex needs work

a few pics toward the end showing sympatry with Claytonia rubra group

growing as a weed/volunteer around the nursery

last image shows sympatry with C. rubra group and C. sibirica
