Ragged Robin?


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.

    Did you find a nice website for woodland or wildflowers?
