Wildflowers of Ainsworth: Scarlet Pimpernel
(Click on image to enlarge)
Folk names include Shepherd's Barometer and Poor Man's Weatherglass because the blossoms supposedly close up at the approach of rainy weather. I haven't made any careful observation to confirm this.
This plant was between two of the sunflowers in my garden. Pimpernel grows in and around my garden every year.
