Habit, in bloom.

Coconino National Forest: Humphreys Peak Trail
above junction with Weatherford Trail at ca. 12,000 feet elevation.

The apparent difference in flower color compared to the previous images is primarily
due to differences in color sensitivity of the digital camera (top images)
and the film camera (this image).  I don't even remember which is closer to
the true color.
