Primula sieboldii / Sakurasou サクラソウ

 
Primula sieboldii is a perennial herb characterized by its curly, white hairs, which are found throughout the plant and grow in damp areas, such as streams or forest edges. Leaves are 4-10 cm long and 3- 6 cm wide, oblong, with many crinkles on their surfaces and margins that are shallowly cut in prominently. Flower stalks, 15-40 cm tall, arise from the center of the leaves and bear red-purple flowers in an umbel. Corollas measure 2- 3  cm in diameter and 1-1.3 cm long, shaped like a high cup, with the upper parts deeply cleft in five and the lobes shallowly cut in two afresh, with throats somewhat white. Calyxes, green, deeply cut in five. Bloom time: April-May.
