pink beacon

I've never seen anything quite like this flower. Truly calling attention to itself with its beautiful pink and interesting form. This is on the path up Akita Komagatake. For more context for the climb, please read:

Love it's tiny size and the way the petals hang downward. A beautiful little flower.
