Spring Bulb Companion: the Pasque Flower by Nancy Shepard

I’ve been regularly checking a spot in my garden to see one of my most favorite spring flowers – the Pasque flower, Pulsatilla patens. I first saw this flower at the Denver Botanic Gardens one spring and couldn’t get over its odd hairy beauty with its wispy stems and purple blooms. When it decides to push through the cold ground and snow, its delicate flowers look impervious to the conditions.
