Despite set backs like this one. Spring just keeps coming. The tulip tarda's opened today. These little bulbs are so hardy and they increase in numbers by seed as well as by division.
Pulsatilla vulgaris is one of my favourite spring flowers. It used to be classified as an anemone but because botanists are constantly finding out new things about plants they are always changing their classification. As I've mentioned before these plants grow wild in the hills above the Peace River.
In the early spring after the snow has melted and the prairie wind is just getting going drive north of Rolla BC. Turn left at the Sheardale cemetery. After reading the headstones start descending through the trees towards the river. Every clearing is full of these purple beauties the wind doesn't seam to bother them.
The hare's coat is now totally brown. I hope that means it is truly spring and there will be no more snow.
