This member of the Rose Family (Rosaceae) is Norwegian cinquefoil (Potentilla norvegica), also called rough cinquefoil. It's widespread throughout the U.S., but in our area is only found on the shores of one lake at about 9,600 feet.
Leaflets are in threes, and stems are hairy. Another distinguishing characteristic is that the green calyx lobes behind the petals are slightly longer than the petals.
