Thanks, Susan! The link says it is the "floral emblem of the province of Newfoundland" - funny thing is I didn't see any when I was hiking the Viking Trail last summer but saw them the year before along Cabot Trail. That is a very useful link. This post was edited by ggopal on Thu, Feb 20, 14 at 10:37

Gaultheria procumbens, creeping wintergreen? Here is a link that might be useful: Gaultheria procumbens, creeping wintergreen

Thanks a lot Carol. Sure looks like Trientalis borealis.

I agree, floral_uk, those were some neat plants. That was a trip that I took in the summer of 2011 to Nova Scotia and PEI. But guess what, I have more flowers that need identification from my trip last July to Newfoundland. So I will be picking on your brains again shortly :-) Stay tuned...
