Tundra flowers seem to make the most of their environment. The growing season is so short, but the flowers make up for that in pure volume. Every square foot of tundra that is not rock seems to support some plant, and most of them bloom during the same 6 weeks. Alpine avens carpet large areas, but a closer look brings out the moss campion, alpine forget-me-nots, alpine primroses and a host of other miniature blooms. Yet every hike to the tundra highlights the variety of this abundance.
