"Moss Campion is one of the faster-growing alpine plants, yet it still takes ten years for the first
flower to appear. The cushion is only 20 cm across at 25 years. One misplaced step can wreck
this amazing organism. The same is true of many other delicate alpine plants, so please stay
on the trail on the tundra."     Quoted from 'Handbook of the Canadian Rockies' by Ben Gadd
