Hello Myrna,
Lucky you to be in the State where Pasque flowers grow naturally. I love
those things..... Have quite a few in my garden and I am always looking for
a new species or hybrid to collect. Tried any of the new hybrids out there
now with the cut petals?
Europe also has numerous species of these beauties. Almost all are just as
easily grown as the vulgaris.
