Winecups in Spring

I love that these are called winecups. The name perfectly captures the rich, purple-red color that always attracts my attention in the spring. Apparently, this flower (Callirhoe involucrata) is also called purple poppy-mallow and buffalo rose. It’s part of the mallow family. I finally got a macro lens for my camera so I can capture these beauties (and many others) up-close and personal.
