Mountain Misery / Bear Clover (Chamaebatia foliolosa)
Mountain Misery is a low shrub that forms extensive stands in areas it finds to its liking. You'll see lots of it if you hike the Wawona Meadow or Lewis Creek trails. The flowers are smallish - about the size of a quarter, and the same general size as Mountain Strawberry, with which you can sometimes find it intermixed.
Blooms: May - July
