Wildflowers?

I found these just outside Eldorado Springs. Can anyone identify them? Are they wild? They were nowhere near any gardens.

Thanks.

They look like pasque flowers. And, yes, they're wild.

Definitely pasque flowers nicely captured. They have really funky looking seed heads that are interesting photo subjects as well.

Dan, they are usually the first wildflowers in the "Foothills" zone. You can also find them at "Lair O' the Bear" park between Morrison and Kittredge, Daniels Park, and around Castlewood Canyon. I'm sure at many other places, too, but those are locations I have found them at. A very nice shot here and the color looks dead on.

Thank you all.

Another vote for pasque flowers. Very pretty. I like the fuzziness you captured on the stems and the petals. Looks like very soft fur almost.

I have seen a few of these in some of the parks in Colorado Springs this past week, but not as many as in the past. Might be a tad early, but I think our dry winter might have more to do with it.
