This wildflower is known as pink pyrola or pink wintergreen. Very delicate in appearance...
"Wintergreen leaves are high in methyl salicylate, a natural painkiller, and they can be chewed and applied to wounds as a poultice in an emergency. Pink wintergreen was considered to be an effective remedy in the treatment of rheumatism. A decoction of the leaves, or the leaves and roots, has been used as an eyewash for sore eyes by the Bella Coola and Woods Cree Tribes. A decoction of the plant was used by the Woods Cree and Penobscot Indians to treat the coughing up of blood. The Shoshoni Indians used a decoction of the root to treat liver complaints. The Micmac and Penobscot Indians also used parts of the plant for gonorrhea and kidney trouble."
