Saxifraga oppositifolia



This week's letter in ABC Wednesday is O.
My take on topic is Saxifraga oppositifolia also known as Purple mountain saxifrage.
As you might guess, this is one of those photographs that was taken near Kilpisjärvi in Lapland. To get some kind of scale about size of these plants, check the mosquite on bottom right corner.
