This lovely Colorado Plateau endemic produces flowers clustered in delicate shades of pink and lavender.  The plant is often abundant in its special habitat. 

Linnaeus named this genus in 1753.   "Primula", from the Latin for "early spring", refers to the plant's early blooming time, and "specuicola" is Latin for "cave" "inhabiting'.
