Alpine Dusty Maiden (Chaenactis alpina)

From the continental divide on the north side of Loveland Pass. A very pretty small flower. More detail re. location: Take the trail that climbs north and west from the past. Take it to a small saddle just west of a prominent high point. This route is marked with large cairns. At that saddle head NNW across the slope, and down a little through grass and then through loose rock. A large group of these is located in some sandy loose rock on a slope at about 11300 feet.
