Very pretty. It looks very similar to the foam flower that blooms in late May. I think ours is slightly different though.

I think you must have a different species: this one favors the far west part of the continent. I’ve not seen these in spring either, just July and August at mid to high elevations.

They are so small that it takes a close-up lens to really see them well, but I think they are very pretty.

So beautiful, but so tiny. It is not here.
It is belonging in the family Saxifragaceae and in our small flower garden we have one Saxifraga.
Again great photos to be admired!

I can’t remember where I read it, but someone said they were given that name because the resembled flecks of sea foam. I like the thought.

Does each flower stem really just have one leaf? In your gorgeous photos it appears that is true.

They have just one leaf per stem. There is another species that has three.

Montucky: I am amazed and then I am not at the diversity of flowers that continue to bloom in your area. I swear this foamflower could gild the page of a Tolkien novel or Walden; it’s that beautiful.

I am continually astounded at the beauty and intricacy of the wildflowers too, Jack, as well as the diversity. Today my daughter and I hiked to a peak and at the peak there were many species of wildflowers in bloom, some of which were through blooming at lower elevations back in May. I will post a series of them a little later.

I thought of seafoam myself – but of course that’s been on my mind of late. 😉
I am curious – why the “one-leaved” as part of the description. Perhaps each stem has a single leaf at its end? It appears so in the photo.

It’s an intricate little flower, isn’t it! The blossom is only about an eighth of an inch across.

What a great native wildflower. Never heard of it till now, and unfortunately no chance of seeing it in Texas.

It seems to be fairly common in some places here, but I think it is usually overlooked because of its tiny size. I look forward to seeing it each year though.
