This picture was taken back in October/Novemberish, I couldn't put a name to it until now. At first I thought  it was a Red Campion but on reflection thought the petals on this flower were too ragged.  After surfing a couple of woodland flower sites I stumbled on a flower called the Ragged Robin which is 'apt' and fits the bill better. It's not as unusual as Eileen's Pink Lady Slipper but is lovely all the same.

 On Saturday we walked round Saughton Park and in between the showers I 
captured some of the lovely autumn colours on camera

What a cute name for the flower "Ragged Robin".
