Late evening hike

The days this far north are very long.  After we reached the campsite with our canoes and had dinner, there was still time for a late evening hike.  We had not gone far before we came across a very interesting purple flower.  It was the hairy butterwort (Pinguicula villosa).  Like its larger relative, the common butterwort, it is carnivorous.  It leaves are sticky and secrete enzymes which digest any insect or pollen that become trapped on their surface. With the millions of mosquitoes in the Yukon, this plant is not likely to go hungry. It is often found on relatively dry hummocks in muskegs.  
It was 11 PM when we got back into camp, but it was still broad daylight, and remained so even after we finally got into our sleeping bags.
