Caltha sinogracilis rubriflora It's taken a bit of a hammering from hailstones and heavy rain hence the marks on the leaves but the flower is quite resilient and there are a few more flower buds tucked underneath.

I think so. But it is the first time that the Tchihatchewia flowers with me.

Steve, your Caltha sinogracilis rubriflora - what a fine color!
