there is one more plant I did not find in my book. would you know the name? THe picture was taken in Colorado at the height of 12500ft thank you
A very red-leaved ecotype (or post-flowering colouration?) of Claytonia megarhiza aka alpine springbeauty, I suspect. A Google Image Search of for the scientific name shows variation within the colours of the foliage, though none quite as red as these.
they do that in the spring and fall when we go hiking they are really interesting because they have flowers that come out of the sides not the middle
