    It is difficult to specify varieties sometimes as different cameras tend to interpret colour differently when taking the same subject.
    This one is Astrantia "Haspen's Blood"

    I agree with ARMANDII.
    There are several named Astrantias that look very very similar.
    eg. Astrantia major Ruby Wedding. etc etc.
    Not sure how you tell them apart.
