Purple saxifrage is the territorial flower of Nunavut.
Perennial herb that lives for two years or more;It is generally the first showy plant to flower in the spring.

The purplish blossoms are very tasty when eaten with seal blubber, and the leaves can be used to make tea. Eating too many flowers at once can cause diarrhea. Aupilattunnguat was sometimes used as a substitute for tea if Inuit ran out of regular tea when they were out on the land. Although the boiled saxifrage leaves were thick and rich, one could eventually get used to the taste.

They can be eaten along with leaves, but you tend to get tired of them even before you get full. As a matter of fact, if one is only going out for a walk, one would eat edible plants, but when you start for home, you would feel that you had too much of that plant—even your chest would not feel good.
