Ligusticum mutellina Mountain Lovage
This small, perennial alpine umbellifer is quite often seen with pink or white flowers most often pink when in bud. It is edible and the leaves are sometimes used as a substitute for Parsley. Although it looks rather vulnerable and delicate being not much taller than the grassland in which it lives, it has been found to be tolerant of the trampling by tourists.
