Brook Saxifrage-Saxifraga odontoloma
Growing next to a stream I noticed leaves that were a notched semi-circle with even dentations all around the edge. Rising from these leaves was a slender stalk and delicate, small flowers. This was brook saxifrage (Saxifraga odontoloma), also called streamside saxifrage. It is native to western North America.

Slender Woodland-Star--Lithophragma tenellum
This dainty white flower can easily be missed on the forest floor, but I've seen the leaves of the plant for weeks now. It's in the Saxifrage Family (Saxifragaceae) and is Slender Woodland-Star (Lithophragma tenellum). Other common names include dainty star and slender fringecup.
For an excellent description of how to tell slender woodland-star apart from two other Lithophragma species, click here.
