Pasque Flowers

pasque-flowers

Pasque flowers – The name comes from Passover, and from their to their connection with Easter. That fits well with the festival because they bloom in early Spring – even in Edinburgh.

They grow wild in the UK, which is hard to believe with more and more wild flowers becoming rare because of lack of habitat.
