Twinflower Triplet

Day 328: Twinflower (Linnaea borealis) takes its name from the fact that paired flowers arise from a single stalk. Wait a minute, here! I said, "...paired." What the heck?

The Twinflowers are mostly gone now, and I've been lamenting the fact that I failed to get a photo of them in their prime. As I was walking up the Eagle Peak trail today, I happened to notice one which still looked fairly fresh. As I knelt down, I could see I'd gotten a bonus: my Twin was triplets!
