Broad-leaved Waterleaf

This common late spring to mid-summer, low-growing plant blooms in many of the local, wooded gorges. Terminal cluster of "semi-closed" flowers with long, stick-out pistils. Its broad 5-7 lobed leaves have marks that make it look like it has water-drops on them. The flowers are typically white, but also pale violet.
