2783 - AlpenPix (Garden) - 2010-12-03 (Dimension: 2318 x 1762 pixels - Counter: 4372) Claytonia megarhiza Locality: USA - Colorado - Mountain View Experimental Gardens, Peak 7 area, Breckenridge, Colorado, elevation 10,000, USDA Zone 4. Photographer: Jane Hendrix Note: Claytonia megarhiza has adapted well to my cultivated rock garden. I received it as an offset from a local friend about 10 years ago. It's located in a north-facing rock wall that has rich, naturally-moist soil and sun in the morning and afternoon only in June and part of July. It blooms in late May in this location.
