Close-up view of the dwarf bear poppy (Arctomecon humilis) in Utah. Due to the short leafy stems, the white flowers appear to float above the cluster of leaves, accentuating the plant’s low stature. The flower of the poppy usually has 4 petals. This plant is listed as endangered due to development and loss of habitat.
