Pasque Flower

My first Pasque flower.  I bought it last spring and was excited to see it survive the winter.  It brought much needed color to my garden early this spring. I can't wait for it to spread a little so I can divide it.  While researching a little about this flower, I discovered another name for it is Easter Flower.  Pasque being an old French word for Easter.  Interesting little tidbit.  Meanwhile, the hellibore I purchased at the same time last year did not bloom this year. I was very disappointed.  It has some healthy new growth on it, but no flowers.  Maybe next year.


I didn't notice the ants on this flower when I took the picture.

  4. I just love the Pasque Flowers. I have a purple one and the Red Clock like yours. I love the red one. I have been looking for a white one now. I was thinking about trying to start more from seeds but I will have to check into that some more since my seed starting is hit and miss. Thanks for dropping by and you have a wonderful weekend.

  5. Beautiful colour, I've seen these flowers before but in a more subtle shade. This one would really catch some attention in the garden.
