Pasqueflower / Pulsatilla vulgaris

What a mess Flickr has made of things! By creating a new system where people can automatically upload all the photos on their computer to Flickr in one batch, to me it seems pretty obvious, given how many millions of people use Flickr, that this would cause one enormous overload problem!!! I was surprised that I was able to upload all three of my new images without any problem this morning. Still have to get out of Flickr and open in a new tab each time I make any change to my photostream, such as adding tags or description.

This photo was taken at the Reader Rock Garden six days ago, on 6 May 2015, when I called in after a volunteer shift. I always enjoy seeing the Pasqueflowers, that look fairly similar to our wild Prairie Crocus.

"Pulsatilla vulgaris (pasque flower, pasqueflower, common pasque flower, Dane's blood) is a species of flowering plant belonging to the buttercup family (Ranunculaceae). It used to be considered part of the Anemone genus, to which it is closely related." From Wikipedia.
