The species in the pictures is not Potentilla coriandrifolia. It is Farinopsis salesoviana (= Comarum salesovianum). There are lots of good pictures from the general area on iNaturalist.

Thanks so much! I have updated this. It was from a set of photos my father (a geomorphologist) took, so I had not actually snapped these photos and haven’t uploaded to iNat as don’t know exact provenance.
