I have no clue RUK. Maybe some of the other wildflower people will be able to answer your question. I was just fortunate enough to have the picture sent by a friend who allowed me to post it :-) Yes, it is pretty.

The specific epithet acaule is the Latin meaning "stemless," in reference to the leafless stem of this species.

What a pretty photo :)
