The Shooting Star is considered a wildflower and adorns the wilderness landscape of Alaska during the month of June and July every year. The radiant pink petals on each of the flowers grows upwards encompassing the center area of the flower. These wild flowers thrive in the wet tundra meadows and on the sides of the alpine slopes of Alaska where they reach about ten inches in height.
