Flower of Alpine Saxifrage

 * Reason:The Saxifrage family is known as being specially adept at surviving in cracks of cliffs. The particular species shown here is furthermore specially adept at coping with a medium to high arctic oceanic environment. A plant, which exists despite all odds. The flowers are very small and you barely notice them in passing. I estimate the diameter of the flower on the photo was about 6mm. The flower is not yet fully developed. There are no other contributions of this species on Commons except this image of mine of the whole plant.
