Starflowers (Trientalis europaea) are a member of the primrose family. The starflower produces a single white blossom tinged with pink. The petals of a starflower can vary in number, plants may have six, seven or eight petals. Starflowers are tiny, growing only a few inches tall and they are found on the tundra in spring, going to seed by the end of June or early July on Unalaska Island. Starflowers grow on all the Aleutian Islands and throughout Alaska.
