I think yours is the scarlet pimpinel. It should have pistils ans stigma... every flower has (at least I think they have) your picture is a bit blurry- I think your pimpinel has them too

Monkey mind this is simply beautiful. It differs from mine because mine do not have pistils and stigma.

Just found out that there is a blue variation to Anagallis arvensis. Who could tell me if this really is a Anagallis foemina or a blue A. arvensis?
