Pasqueflower Close Up

 Wikipedia tells me: 

 "The genus Pulsatilla contains about 33 species of herbaceous perennials native to meadows and prairies of North America, Europe, and Asia. Derived from the Hebrew word for Passover, "pasakh", the common name pasque flower, refers to the Easter flowering period. Common names include pasque flower (or pasqueflower), wind flower, prairie crocus, Easter flower, and meadow anemone. Several species are valued ornamentals because of their finely-dissected leaves, solitary bell-shaped flowers, and plumed seed heads. The showy part of the flower consists of sepals, not petals."

"Think of your fellow man, 

lend him a helping hand 

Put a little love in your heart 

You see, it's getting late, 

oh, please don't hesitate 

Put a little love in your heart 

And the world will be a better place 

And the world will be a better place 

for you and me 

You just wait and see"  

- songwriters: Jackie DeShannon, Jimmy Holiday, Randy Myers
