This delicate little flower is known as Grass of Parnassus or bog-stars. They are plants in the family Celastraceae. The plants occur in arctic and alpine habitats, as well as in dune systems and fens, swamps, wet meadows, open seepage areas, moist woods, and across the Northern Hemisphere. It is actually not a grass, but an herbaceous dicot. Although these flowers can be up to 1.4 inches (36mm) wide, these which were found on Mull Head, Orkney (Scotland) were very tiny and delicate.
