In June and July, this area is a great place to see one of the most famous plants found in Abisko National Park, the yellow globeflower, or Trollius europaeus. Trollius europaeus is also called the butterball. It's a beautiful yellow forb, meaning it's a tall flowering plant, and instead of the yellow flowers being outstretched, they form a ball. Here’s researcher Keith Larson from the Abisko Scientific Research Station, to tell you more about this plant. While you listen, see if you can find one.
