| In the river at Black Sand Geysers, we saw these little tiny flowers. I took a photo at full zoom and still couldn't really see them well enough to ID. Most of the plant was underwater, aside from the flowers. Any ideas? |

| I can't see much except that it is white with center of yellow that sticks up, and is in water. So I'm going to take a guess and suggest Ranunculus aquatilis, water buttercup. Perhaps you can enlarge your pic on your computer and see details to compare. |

| If I saw that here I would guess at Common Water Crowfoot, Ranunculus aquatilis. I believe there are American species but don't know enough to say which one this is. Compare with Great water crowfoot, Ranunculus multifidus, which I find grows in Yellowstone, and see what you think.) |

| I think it's Ranunculus aquatilis, after deliberation. Shown is a zoomed in section. Thanks! |
