We have this lovely flower in our garden, but no one seems to know what it is called. Can anyone help!

I posted a picture of this last week - it is indeed Pulsatilla vulgaris 'Rubra'. It disappears in the winter and pops back up in time for easter each year - hence 'Pasque Flower'.

It's also a British native of chalkland soils. I struggle to grow it in my qacd conditions but have found a place where it is happy at last

Hi, its a Pulsatilla (Ranunculaceae) also known as The Pasque Flower - I've got a lovely yellow one in my garden and each year it sticks its head up every spring with soft furry leaves and a bright little flower. I may be wrong but the alpine book I've got has a pic that says yours might be the P.rubra (maybe someone with a bit more knowledge can help)
