Norwegian Cinquefoil

Norwegian Cinquefoil
Potentilla norvegica
The Norwegian Cinquefoil is also known as Rough Cinquefoil, a reference to its rough stem and rough appearance.

Look for the calyx lobes (leaf looking things under the flower petals) to be a bit longer than the petals. Other than that, the other distinguishing aspect is the leaves, which have only three leaflets.
