Not Easter anymore, but I'll take it

 red pulsatilla vulagaris

The aptly named Pasqueflower, pulsatilla vulgaris, has been quite content in a shallow trough the past couple years.  Its purple relative started blooming a couple weeks ago since it's planted in the ground.  Behind it is fall-blooming sedum sieboldii and in front is an unknown passalong sedum.  Once the flowers are gone the fantastic seedheads persist.

  2. Thanks, Webb. This is part of a group of hypertufa containers that I keep outside of the dining room windows so that we can see them from inside the house. They're like a mutating miniature painting as things go in and out of bloom.
