White-flowered Geranium and the Arapaho

This plant was identified in the field in RMNP. The white flowers were in bloom at the time. The name was explained as referring to the fact that the plant grows in a straggling, semi-vining or running form, especially in riparian areas. See also Morning Glory/Bindweed.
