Very, very pretty. It's an interesting flower and the colors and textures make for nice contrasts. I've enjoyed all in this series.

Love the colour in this one and, like the others, the texture is fantastic. Great series Rene.

Hello Rene, I found this during a random search. As with Anawhisp Pulsatilla is one of my favourite genus'. I grow a few with other alpine plants in my rock garden. I assume this is P. patens as this and P. occidentalis are the only two species in N American continent. I have a similar pic of P vulgaris, now a rare species in UK, in my gallery if you are interested. I love this shot as you've captured perfectly the fine silky hairiness which is characteristic of these species. With just a hint of the golden stamens to tease us.
Lovely composition.
I love the other two in this series also. Do they really get that blue? I thought they stayed purple, if so they are stunning.
Cheers,
Steve.
