Mysterious Flowers: Flowers That Bow & Sparks : 5 Stage (s ) of Life



Don't blame me for taking many pictures of this one of a kind flora. A very interesting variety of pasque flower. Even the name of this specie is unique. I was making fun of this plant before imagining it as a "talking flower." Then when I retrieved the name from my botany book I could only delight in laughter. PULSATILLA VULGARIS. Syn. Anemone pulsatilla. It glares at you and then it bows. Sometimes it seems like it is very shy and cringe like a bell. This exquisite flora need lime and chalk on the soil to thrive best. The stems are hairy and so as the fine leaves. It has special tuffets that are finely divided. The tuffets spread like fine silk thread and looks like small fireworks in denominations.
