Littleleaf Pussytoes-Antennaria microphylla

Small clusters of grayish-green leaves on the forest floor might be puzzling at first, but when the flowers emerge, it isn't hard to tell that this plant is Littleleaf Pussytoes (Antennaria microphylla), also called Rosy Pussytoes. It's a member of the Sunflower Family (Asteraceae). 

A closeup of the flower shows the pink bracts surrounding the white disk flowers.
