Flowers are magenta with yellow eyes. In the high mountains, they bloom in summer; at lower elevations, in late spring.
The whole plant has a skunklike smell.
Asa Gray named Parry's primrose for Charles Christopher Parry, who discovered it in 1861. Parry had previously named Grays Peak after him.[1]
