Common & scientific name
Bog saxifrage,  Saxifraga oregana

Family
Saxifrage, Saxifragaceae

Fun, weird, helpful, or little known fact
Distinguishable from Snowball saxifrage by blooming later, being taller, having multi-flowered stems (not just one ball of flowers at the top), always growing in wet places, AND erupting in huge numbers about now in the subalpine & alpine wherever water is found!
