COLORADO WILD FLOWERS 



Fig. 9. — Pasque Flower (Pulsatilla hirsutissima) 

 A spring-blooming plant very common in the foothills and sparingly distributed in the 

 montane and higher zones. The flowers are light blue or lavender in color with a woolly 

 circle of bracts on the flower stalk. The leaves appear after the flowers have faded. In 

 Colorado this plant is frequently called "Anemone." (One-half natural size.)
