Description
The capture of these three Pasque flowers represents the three stages of their life cycles from fresh bud, early bloom to dying stage.
Pasque flower or Pulsatilla is a pretty tundra plant native to meadows and prairies of North America, Europe, and Asia. .The other name for Pasque Flower is called Easter Flower because the term Pasque in French means Passover. It is a member of the Ranunculaceae family, which is Latin for little frog. The centre of each flower � the female part of the plant � has white or purple styles and is encircled by bright yellow stamens � the male part of the flower that produces pollen. These are surrounded by petal-like sepals, which can range from pale to deep purple and sometimes white.
The silky hairs that cover the stems and finely cut leaves are also found on the underside of the sepals, giving the plant a unique look and serve as protection against late frosts. One flower grows atop each stem and, when pollinated, creates an attractive seed head that is also covered in silky down.
