Wood Strawberry (Fragaria vesca) blooming in Wawona Meadow, Yosemite National Park

Wood Strawberry (Fragaria vesca)

Family:  Rose (Rosaceae)

Wood Strawberry doesn't stand out particularly from other small white flowers (though after closer inspection, you might conclude that it's the only flower sprouting tiny lemon sorbet popsicles). If you're familiar with the domestic strawberry plant, though, you'll recognize the leaves immediately.

Blooms:  March - June
