Pulsatilla vulgaris var. rubra

BPotD is in brief entry mode on weekends and holidays from April through September. – Daniel

A nod of gratitude to Meighan aka Meighan@Flickr for today's image (original | BPotD Flickr Group Pool). Much appreciated!

There seems to be some disagreement as to whether this should be considered a botanical or cultivated variety (i.e., variety rubra vs. 'Rubra'). I've opted to follow the Royal Horticultural Society convention.

Read more about the European pasque flower via the Kemper Center for Home Gardening. The RHS also has an article on the species.
