Photo essay: recently flowering

Sharing some photos of some pretty that has recently been flowering in my garden. Keeping it simple with just photos!

Several royal purple pasque flowers, each with an array of yellow stamens and within this the lilac edged pistols. Just behind you can see the hairy fern-like foliage that is ever so soft to touch.
