Alpine Sunflower/Old Man of the Mountain (Tetraneuris grandiflora)
It is also known as Compass Flower because the flowers have a tendency to face
East-South East through the day. The entire plant is edible, rich in vitamins and
minerals. It should be consumed with plenty of water, as small particles have a
tendency to stick to the throat--boiling it helps.
