Steer's Head Flower

I love looking for this unique little flower in the spring. The two outer petals curve backwards to form the horns of a steer, while the two straight inner petals form the snout. They are one of the first wildflowers to bloom following the snowmelt. They grow in higher elevation, gravelly flats, and are very hard to spot unless you are looking for them. They are extremely small and grow very close to the ground, varying from pale pink to white in color.
